    Solution

    The words and phrases "each," "each one," "either," "neither," "everyone," "everybody," "anyone," "anybody," "nobody," "somebody," "someone," and "no one" are singular and require a singular verb. So, instead of ‘have’, ‘has’ should be used. By the fourth season, each of the leads has fallen into a comfortable rhythm, and they've congealed into a formidable comedy team.
