    Parts of the following sentence have been given as options.

    Select the option that contains an error: Each of the players must bring their own water bottle to the practice session.
    A Each of the players Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B must bring Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C their own water bottle Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D to the practice session Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The subject “Each of the players” is singular, even though it refers to multiple individuals.

    Therefore, the pronoun used to refer to "each" should also be singular.

    “Their” is a plural pronoun, so it's incorrect in this context.

    It should be replaced with “his or her” to maintain agreement with the singular subject.

    Corrected Sentence:Each of the players must bring his or her own water bottle to the practice session.
