Choose the correct option to complete the sentence:
______ each of the rooms in the new hostel block have its own geyser now?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Does
“Does” with a singular subject in a question:
- In a question, “does” goes with a singular subject and “do” goes with a plural subject.
- The subject is “each of the rooms”, and “each” is singular. “Now” shows the present. So the question begins with Does.
- Complete sentence: Does each of the rooms in the new hostel block have its own geyser now?
Why the Other Options are Incorrect?
Option 1: Do — Incorrect. “Do” goes with a plural subject, but “each” is singular. Example: Do your parents work in Delhi?
Option 3: Did — Incorrect. “Did” shows the past. The sentence is about now (“now”). Example: Did you watch the match last night?
Option 4: Has — Incorrect. After “has”, the verb takes its past participle (V3) form, not the plain form “have”. Example: Has the postman come yet?
