Question

Fill in the blank with the most suitable determiner:

The two boys walked in, ________ one carrying flowers.

• A. each
• B. every
• C. with
• D. both A and B

Answer 1

Answer: (A)

each

'Each' is generally used when emphasis is given to single units. Here emphasis is given to both the boys separately and hence option A is correct.

'Every' is used when we want to focus on a larger number of people or a group. In this sentence, there are only two boys present.

'With' means to have possession, attribute or characteristic.

Hence, options B and C are wrong. Option D is wrong because the answer lies in option A.
