Correct Answer: shouted out to each another


Solution : The second option is the correct choice.

  • The erroneous part "shouted out to each another" would be replaced with "shouted out to one another".
  • The given sentence is an example of a reciprocal pronoun .
  • We know that "each other" is used when there are two people.
  • We know that when we are talking about more than two people, we should use a different reciprocal pronoun, which is "one another".
  • In the given sentence, "the three" is the subject, and with them, we should use "one another".

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The three of them shouted out to one another when the train started moving."
