1Answer
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).
