In the question below choose the word(s) or phrase(s) which best fills(s) the gap(s):
Each of the candidates that came late ..... to complete ....
A
have/this form
B
are having/these forms
C
have/these forms
D
has/this form
Verified Correct Answer: D.
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
"Each" is a singular pronoun, and when used as the subject, it takes a singular verb. "Has" is the singular form of the verb to agree with the singular subject "Each." "This form" is the correct object complement, indicating what each candidate has to complete. Therefore, option D, "has/this form," is the most suitable choice for maintaining grammatical agreement and conveying the intended meaning.
