Solution
The correct option is A Most
The words 'each', 'either (of) and 'neither (of)' all refer to singular
nouns. When the pronoun is singular in a sentence, the words in relation
must also be singular. 'Their test' refers to a plural number of
students. Hence these pronouns are not suitable here and options A, B
and C are wrong.('Neither of' refers to singular nouns, but sometimes 'neither' can be followed by plural verbs as well.)
Option D: 'Most' is a plural pronoun and refers to more than one student. It
agrees with the number of the other words 'students did well on their test'
and hence this is the correct option.
