Answer

Corrected Sentences

a) He is one of the tallest boys in the class.
(Correct as written. “One of the” takes a plural noun and a singular verb agreeing with “he”.)

b) The news is very surprising.
(“News” is an uncountable noun; it always takes a singular verb.)

c) Each of the boys has done his work.
(“Each of” requires a singular verb; the pronoun should be singular – “his” or “her”.)

d) The scenery of Nepal is beautiful.
(“Scenery” is uncountable and has no plural form; it takes a singular verb.)
