Explanation:

Question 11

The subject of the relative clause "that ___ in trashy supermarket tabloids" is "every silly word", but the main subject of the sentence is "My grandmother" (singular). The verb "reads" should agree with the singular subject "she" (referring to grandmother). "They read" would be plural and incorrect here.

"Either of Leonard's nieces" is a singular subject (since "either" refers to one of the two). So the pronoun should be singular "she" instead of the plural "they".

"Each of these computers" is a singular subject (each refers to individual computers one by one). So the possessive pronoun should be singular "its" instead of the plural "their".

Answer:

A. she reads
