Question

______ of the high school seniors has volunteered to tutor children during summer vacation.
choose the correct subject for this sentence.
a. several
b. few
c. many
d. each

Explanation:

To determine the correct subject, we analyze subject - verb agreement. The verb in the sentence is “has”, which is a singular verb.

• Option A: “Several” is used with plural nouns and takes a plural verb. So it can't be the subject here.
• Option B: “Few” is also used with plural nouns and requires a plural verb. So it is incorrect.
• Option C: “Many” is used with plural nouns and takes a plural verb. Thus, it is not suitable.
• Option D: “Each” is a singular pronoun. When “each” is the subject, it takes a singular verb (in this case, “has” which matches).

Answer:

D. Each
