Question

In the following sentences, identify which are grammatically and contextually correct:

(I) The team has worked really hard and deserves all of the praise they are receiving.

(II) She was excited to start her new job, but her nervousness was affecting her confidence.

(III) Each of the students were required to submit their projects before the deadline.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Sentence (I) is correct because "The team" is a collective noun treated as singular here, so the verb "deserves" is appropriate.

2. Sentence (II) is also correct; the sentence structure is proper, and both clauses are grammatically sound.

3. Sentence (III) is incorrect because the subject "Each of the students" is singular, so the verb should be "was" instead of "were".

**Answer:** (d) Both (I) and (II)
