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.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.
