Nice question!

The answer to this question is E.

grammatically speaking, 'each of which' is better than 'one of which, so A and B are crossed out. We are left with D and E. D is incorrect because 'All of the letters' makes sense that letters are countable so it must be a plural subject and must agree with the plural verb 'represent', hence E is the correct answer.

IMO E.

I have a concern here:

After striking out last two options are C and E. I discarded C because which of those in the option. Lets say the only difference between C and E were alphabets and alphabet. Which one will be the best out of these two?

The Greek alphabet is right in my opinion.

alivapriyada,
has been/ is will refer to 'each' not 'all'. Plus 'has been' would mean different time periods referenced in the sentence.

Have another try at the right answer now. :)

Will post the OA shortly

hi guys,
HOW CAN IN "E" ALL OF THE LETTERS REPRESENT SPECIFIC SOUNDS.
SPECIFIC SHOULD BE FOR EACH LETTERS. HENCE REPRESENTS

imo All of the letters is plural, hence 'represent' is right.

OA is e
Thanks for the participation everyone.
