Identify the error: Each of the students have submitted their assignment on time.

  • A. Each of the students
  • B. have submitted
  • C. their assignment
  • D. on time

Explanation

Each is singular and requires has submitted, so the plural verb is the error. The pronoun their is now widely accepted after each in general usage, and the phrase on time is idiomatically correct. Error detection items usually hide the fault in the verb, so check agreement first.
