Harry Potter

Aw snap, rahulvsd -- we picked A at first!

Such a basic trap (subject/verb agreement) and we fell right into it. :-)

clearly Option B is the only right choice :)

Each alway follows singular Verb.

Yep -- Each should follow a singular verb. that's why option A is out.

Yes B is the right option.

A - Use of are with each
C - [color=red]each of them Rowling's adolescent heroes[/color]
D - Hyphen is wrong after "Brave and fair-minded"
E - Same as D & use of every one is wrong.
