In all these links that you provide, there is not a single example where 'each' follows a plural subject.

Anyways, I request the experts to dive in and help us out!
First of all, can you please help me locate where each is following a plural subject in our case/question.

If you mean to say that each precedes a plural subject OR a plural subject follows each, then definitely, carefully read the links that I've provided, or for that matter any grammar-teaching website.


How do you find these examples different from our case of "each of the three networks" :

*Each of the divers has an oxygen tank.
*Each of the girls sings well.


Each is always singular.
no matter what follows it.

P.S : Don't use "Anyways". " Anyway" is grammatically correct. ( oh!! singular/plural confusion. Leave it for now! Think about this advice, once you have carefully read the links given above. )

Regards,
Harsha

Answers to the questions you asked (marked red)

- Option E has 'each' following a plural subject.

-In the examples that you mention about the divers and girls, each is preceding a plural subject.
The GMAT is indeed adaptable. Whenever I answer RC, it proficiently 'adapts' itself to mark my 'right' answer 'wrong'.
