Answer

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 intention was to emphasize uniqueness, it could be rewritten as: "He is the tallest boy in the class." (if he is the only tallest).


b) The news are very surprising.

  • Correction: The news is very surprising.
  • Explanation: "News" is an uncountable noun and 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 singular, so the verb must be has.
    • "His" (not their) agrees with each (singular).

d) The sceneries of Nepal are beautiful.

  • Correction: The scenery of Nepal is beautiful.
  • Explanation:
    • "Scenery" is uncountable (no plural form).
    • "The sceneries" is incorrect; use the scenery (singular).
    • The verb should be is (singular subject).
