Correct Answer: Every of the two


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option .

The reason for the error is that "every" should be replaced with "each" when referring to individual members within a group. "Each" emphasises individuality within a group, highlighting separate and distinct entities. On the other hand, "every" emphasises inclusivity, treating the group as a whole.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Each of the two girls will get the reward.
