Identify the error: Each of the boys have submitted their assignment.

  • A. Each should be All
  • B. have should be has
  • C. boys should be boy
  • D. There is no error

Explanation

Each is singular and controls the verb, so has is required no matter how plural the intervening phrase sounds. The prepositional phrase of the boys never governs the verb. Strictly, formal usage would also prefer his rather than their, though that point is less often marked.
