Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Each of the major airlines reduced its air fare to Austin.The correct answer is "airlines" because the subject of the sentence is "Each", which is singular. Therefore, the verb "reduced" must also be singular. The noun "airlines" is plural, but it is preceded by the singular indefinite article "each", which makes the noun singular in meaning.
