Correct Answer: (3)


Solution : The correct answer is the third option.

In this context, "every one of" should be followed by a plural noun because it refers to a group of people. Therefore, the correct phrase is "every one of these girls". "These" is the appropriate plural form to use in this sentence to agree with the plural noun "girls."

The meanings of the other options are as follows:

That : This option is not the best choice because "that" is typically used to refer to a singular noun or to introduce a restrictive clause.

The : While "the" is a definite article, it doesn't address the issue of making the sentence grammatically correct.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be "Every one of these girls is beautiful".
