    Question

    Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the verb

    that agrees with the Subject. Each one of the workers ____________ a raise in salary from the coming month.
    A wants Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B are wanting Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C have wanted Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D want Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    EXPLANATION: "Each one" is a singular subject, even though it implies multiple people. Therefore, the verb needs to be singular. "Have wanted" and "are wanting" are not grammatically correct ways to express present desire in this context. "Want" is the correct singular verb form for the present tense. Therefore, the sentence should be: Each one of the workers wants a raise in salary from the coming month. Remember, when dealing with singular subjects like "each one," always use the singular verb form, even if the subject implies multiple entities.
