Television

[vani_13in]

Although it claims to delve into political issues, television can be superficial such as when each of the three major networks broadcast exactly the same statement from a political candidate.

(A) superficial such as when each of the three major networks
(B) superficial, as can sometimes occur if all of the three major networks
(C) superficial if the three major networks all
(D) superficial whenever each of the three major networks
(E) superficial, as when the three major networks each

OA:E[/spoiler]

A - The structure requires 'each...subject...Singular Verb'. Here the verb 'broadcast is plural'.Hence incorrect

B - '...if all of the three major networks...' - usage is redundant

C - '...if three major networks all...' - usage is redundant

D - Same as A - each requires singular subject

E - In this case, since 'each' is following the subject and not preceding as in A and B, the count of the verb should match that of the subject.Since subject is plural(networks), the plural verb 'broadcast' makes sense.Hence this stmt is correct.

B it is.
