Answer

· Based on the official syllabus and past papers
Updated

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

  • No correction needed. The sentence is grammatically correct. "One of the tallest" is used correctly with a plural noun ("boys") because it refers to a group within a larger group.

b) The news are very surprising.

  • Correction: The news is very surprising.
  • Explanation: "News" is an uncountable noun when referring to information in general. However, when it refers to specific pieces of information (as in this case), it is treated as a plural noun but still takes a singular verb. The correct form is "The news is very surprising" (singular verb).

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 it requires a singular verb ("has") and a singular possessive pronoun ("his").

d) The sceneries of Nepal are beautiful.

  • Correction: The scenery of Nepal is beautiful.
  • Explanation: "Scenery" is an uncountable noun, so it does not take a plural verb ("are"). The correct form is "The scenery of Nepal is beautiful." If referring to multiple distinct views, one could say "The scenic views of Nepal are beautiful."
