Question

In the following sentence, some parts have errors and some have none. Find out which part of the sentence has an error.

Everyone of the men present here (a) has given a day's pay (b) as their contribution to the fund (c) No error (d)

• A. a
• B. b
• C. c
• D. d

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

c

When the words include 'each' and ' every', the verb as well as the pronoun should be singular in number. Therefore the pronoun 'their' is incorrect. The correct pronoun should be "his", as in third person singular. Hence, Option A is correct, that is, Everyone of the men present here has given a day's pay as his contribution to the fund. The rest of the options do not indicate the flawed part, hence, incorrect.
