Correct Answer: (2)


Solution : The error lies in the second part of the sentence.

The phrase "each have parts to play" should be replaced with "each have a part to play". If "each" appears before a singular noun or subject, use the singular verb form. If it is used after a plural subject, use the plural verb form.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "Ghana, Nigeria, and Gambia each have a part to play in the development of Africa."
