Chinese, the most ancient of living writing systems, consists of tens of thousands of ideographic characters,
each character miniature calligraphic composition inside its own square frame.

(A) each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside its
(B) all the characters a miniature calligraphic ; composition inside their
(C) all the characters a miniature calligraphic composition inside its
(D) every character a miniature calligraphic composition inside their
(E) each character a miniature calligraphic composition inside their

I feel
C,D,E are incorrect as the pronoun referring back to the noun do not agree in number.

between A and B, i would pick A

IMO A

very simple

D, E : usage of their with every
C : its for all
B :
usage of semicolon,

[indiantiger]

each and every are singular so they cannot agree with their.

B has the ";" that is unnecessary.

Answer : A

abhi332 ,
Please be mindful of the exact question. I had initially ruled out "A" because in the question stem it is incorrect. It is missing an article "a"(I usually skip reading answer choice A after reading the question). Also, please underline properly.

Thanks!

Hi Sakali, will take care of this next time

also OA is A

[reply2spg]

C, D and E are out because of wrong S-V

Between A and B, B is out because of ';'
