In the following question, a sentence is given with a part in bold. The given phrase in bold may or may not contain an error. The options following can replace the incorrect phrase; that replacement will be your answer. If the sentence is correct, select 'No replacement required' as your answer. Sentence: Each of the family members is invited for dinner today.

1. family member are
2. family members is
3. family members
4. families' members are

Correct answer: family members

Solution

The phrase "Each of" takes a plural noun after it, so "family members" is correct. The sentence should read: "Each of the family members is invited for dinner today." Since the bold part is incorrect only if it includes the singular noun, the best replacement is "family members."
