Attempted by 36 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
The sentence contains a subject-verb agreement error. The subject 'Each and every person' is singular, so the verb must also be singular. The word 'want' is plural, which is incorrect. The correct verb form is 'wants'.
Additionally, 'feedback' is an uncountable noun and should not be used with the article 'a'. The phrase 'give a feedback' is incorrect; it should be 'give feedback'.
The correct sentence is: 'Each and every person attending the meeting wants to give feedback.'
Key Points: 'Each' and 'every' are singular determiners and require singular verbs. 'Feedback' is uncountable and does not take an article.
For example: Each student has submitted the project. Every student has submitted the report.
