In his experiments with gravity, Isaac Newton showed how the motion of each planet in the solar system results from the combined gravitational pull of the Sun and of all the other planets, each contributing according to their mass and distance from the others.

A. of all the other planets, each contributing according to their
B. of all the other planets, with each of them contributing according to their
C. all the other planets, each of which contributing according to its
D. all the other planets, each contributing according to its

Hi,
Thanks for posting this question again. Picking the correct option isn't too hard. But, eliminating C isn't as easy as it seems. I learnt a new concept from Ron's post, while going through the older thread.
I really appreciate it.
Cheers!

Hi,
https://www.beatthegmat.com/in-his-exper ... 80376.html
ughhh...my bad...i posted this question 2-3 months back and forgot the same thing...

apart from that another good thing in this question is in Op A and Op B structurally we can set parallelism with "of...." but logically the meaning in that case gonna be incorrect.

Thanks for the link

Hi Atul,

I have a doubt in this question i.e on option A being wrong

If you remember the Each rule then it is as below-

Each of X,Y and Z is doing this -----> in this each is the subject and therefore,preposition is is used

X,Y,and Z each are doing this --------> subject changes and the preposition changes to are

Now my doubt is this that why is option A wrong

A. of all the other planets, each contributing according to their

if you notice option A then each comes later on, so don't you feel that instead of its, their should have been the correct preposition?????

@aspirant: well i dont know how to explain this but i will try....here

The points that you mentioned are valid when sentence is linear but here each is in modifier. Here,
each contributing according to its = each planetcontributing according to its
Premise: If you like my post
Conclusion : Press the Thanks Button ;)

@aspirant: when you write a continuous sentence(without any commas,modifiers) then you can judge the Subject-Verb by "each". Examples
Each of the boys is playing in garden (subject : each of the boys, verb : is)
Ali & Bil each are going for a walk (subject : Ali & Bil verb : are)

Now these rules do not apply to our sentence because that is NOT a continuous sentence but has modifier, so there we have to understand the meaning to find whether "each" makes the subject, and hence the verb, singular.
