Each

by artstudent » Mon Aug 01, 2011 6:21 am
India, like Italy and China, has no single dominant cuisine: Indian food comprises many different styles of cooking, with each a product of their regional influences, from the fiery vegetarian dishes of the south to the Portuguese-influenced Goan cooking of the West, to the more familiar Mogul food of the North

1. with each a product of their
2. with each as a product of its
3. each products of their
4. each a product of
5. each products of


I thought that if "each/every" comes after the subject then it takes the form of the subject.

Here each refers to "styles" so why is "their" wrong?

"each" here refers to one "style of cooking"; "each" is a singular pronoun. "their" refers back to "each" here since we are now talking about the styles individually. It's incorrect to use "each" AND "their" in this context.

The answer is D. It simplifies the entire sentence.

Whenever you come down to two choices, look for the differences between them. Since the shorter answer still makes sense grammatically, and in terms of meaning, it is correct here.
