Question

Fill in the blank with the most appropriate word.
She wrote her name on ____ book.

• A. most
• B. each
• C. all
• D. both

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

each

A distributive pronoun is always singular and as such it should be followed by a singular noun and verb. In the given context, the singular noun “book” follows the distributive pronoun “each”. Thus, option B is the correct answer.
The pronoun “most” is indefinite and indicates the majority. It is followed by a plural. “Most books” would indicate the majority of the books. However, this does not concur with the given context.
“All” is also an indefinite pronoun and is followed by a plural noun. “All book” is incorrect grammatically.
“Both” is also followed by a plural noun. Hence, this is also incorrect.
Hence, option B is the correct answer.
