Correct Answer: each students


Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.

Explanation: The error is in the use of the plural form "students" after "each". "Each" is a distributive adjective that is used with singular nouns. Hence, it should be "each student" instead of "each students". The correct sentence maintains grammatical consistency by using the singular form.

Therefore, the correct sentence should be: I expect each student present here to listen carefully to the instructions I'm giving.
