Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation:
Error is in part C.We can see that the given sentence starts with 'each of the'.
When the sentence starts with each of, either of, neither of, each, neither, either, then 'the' is used before the plural noun; but singular adjective, singular verb and singular pronoun are used in the latter part of the sentence.
Therefore in the given sentence, the plural pronoun 'their' should be replaced by the singular pronoun 'her'.
Correct sentence: "Each of the girls has her own kitchen set".
Hence, the correct option is (C).
