Each of the authors received .................... royalties
A
his
B
our
C
their
D
there
E
those
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The explanation lies in the principle of agreement between pronouns and their antecedents. In this case, "each" is a singular pronoun, and when referring to a singular antecedent, the corresponding possessive pronoun should also be singular. Therefore, the correct completion is "Each of the authors received his royalties," where "his" agrees in number with the singular antecedent "each."
