Under the restructuring, the huge organization that operates the company's basic businesses will be divided into five groups, each with its own executive.
(A) each with its own executive
(B) all having their own executive
(C) each having their own executive
(D) with its own executive for each
(E) every one with an executive of their own
OA: A
[spoiler]Each requires a singular verb when "each" is the subject of the sentence, however when each follows the subject each could be followed by singular or plural verb, depending on the subject
Example:
Each subject: Each of the cats is lazy
Each object: They each are great tennis players[/spoiler]
Doubt: [spoiler]In the sentence above each follows groups..shouldn't we use a plural verb here..as in C[/spoiler]
