Explanation
Choose the correct word or phrase that completes the sentence correctly.
Each, each of, either and neither are distributive pronouns. ‘Each’ and ‘Each of’ are used to present the members of a group as individuals. Whereas ‘either’ and ‘neither’ are used when there is a comparison or choice between two things. Since the given sentence is speaking about a group of students amidst which every individual has to contribute, ‘either’ and ‘neither’ cannot be used. Thus options C and D are incorrect. On the other hand, ‘each’ is used for singular nouns like “each candidate” while ‘each of’ is used for plural nouns, such as “each of the kids”. Since the noun ‘student’ is in singular ‘each’ is the suitable answer. Thus option A is correct, while option B is incorrect.
Either, either of, neither and neither of are distributive pronouns. They are used when there is comparison or choice between two things. ‘ ‘Either’ and ‘either of’ are used to convey a positive meaning, i.e. one of the two options is chosen. While ‘neither’ and ‘neither of’ convey a negative meaning because both are omitted/rejected. Since the given sentence is a positive one, that explains that both of the dresses are good, ‘neither’ and ‘neither of’ cannot be used. Thus options C and D are incorrect. Further ‘either’ is used for singular nouns and ‘either of’ is used for plural nouns. Since ‘dress’ is singular ‘either’ is the apt answer, Thus option A is correct while option B is incorrect.
