Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The error lies in the phrase "Every students".
Grammar Rule: In English, the determiner "Every" is used only with singular countable nouns. It denotes the totality of the members of a group, but it functions grammatically as a singular subject.
Correction: Because "every" requires a singular noun, the correct construction should be "Every student".
