Answer

Corrected Sentences

a) He is one of the tallest boys in the class.

Correction: He is one of the tallest boys in the class. (No correction needed; the sentence is grammatically correct.) Note: If the sentence intended to imply that he is among the tallest but not necessarily the tallest, it could also be written as: "He is among the tallest boys in the class."


b) The news are very surprising.

Correction: The news is very surprising. Explanation: "News" is an uncountable noun when referring to the general concept of news reports or information. Thus, it takes a singular verb (is).


c) Each of the boys have done their work.

Correction: Each of the boys has done his work. Explanation:

  • "Each" is a singular pronoun, so the verb must be singular (has).
  • "Their" is plural; the correct possessive pronoun for "each" is "his" (or "her" if referring to a girl).

d) The sceneries of Nepal are beautiful.

Correction: The scenery of Nepal is beautiful. Explanation:

  • "Scenery" is an uncountable noun (the general landscape or view).
  • If referring to multiple distinct views, one could say "The scenic views of Nepal are beautiful."
