Learn the reasoning, not just the answer. A little clarity goes a long way.
- •
A (have): The nearby plural noun “students” does not control the verb; the subject “Each” is singular.
- •
B (are having): “Are” is plural and does not agree with the singular subject “Each”; possession also normally uses a simple tense.
- •
C (has): “Each” takes a singular verb, so “Each of the students has a library card” is correct.
- •
D (were having): “Were” is plural and cannot agree with “Each” in this ordinary affirmative sentence.
KEY TAKEAWAYIn “each of + plural noun”, the head subject remains singular.
