Identify the part of the sentence that contains an error. If there is no error, choose ‘No error’.
Each boy and each girl / in the school choir / have been given a new kurta for the annual concert.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → have been given a new kurta for the annual concert
Two nouns are joined by “and” here, so the subject looks plural. But each noun has “each” before it. “Each” takes the children one by one, so the verb must be singular: has been given, not “have been given”.
Option 1: Each boy and each girl — No error. “Each” is rightly followed by a singular noun, “boy” and “girl”.
Option 2: in the school choir — No error.
Option 3: have been given a new kurta for the annual concert — Error. “have been given” should be “has been given”.
Corrected: Each boy and each girl in the school choir has been given a new kurta for the annual concert.
