Correct Answer: was wearing


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation:
The reason for this is that "each one" is singular, so the verb should also be singular, which is "was wearing." The original sentence incorrectly uses the plural verb "were," making it grammatically incorrect.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: Each one of them was wearing a face mask for protection.
