Answer 1

Answer: (A)

A

The correct answer is A. The correct phrase is 'Each of the five children'. The sentence is telling that every individual child in the room is dexterous. The word 'every' refers to a group of people or objects.. The correct answer is 'Each of the five children standing in the corner of the room in dexterous in paintings.' Part A is incorrect.
