Bb writing question p602 #16 doesnt make sense!!!

<p>The answer is E, but i dont get why "fish" is thought of as plural. I just dont get it!!!!! Should it be A, "the young fish was"?</p>

<p>if you made fish singular then you wouldn’t be able to say “each of THEM.” it should be E, no error because “fish” is plural, therefore “were” is appropriate. there is nothing wrong with B. in answer choice C, “its” is singular because it refers to “each,” wich is singular. and there is no idiomatic error with “weight in.”</p>

<p>Isnt “fishes” plural and “fish” singular?</p>

<p>fish is one of those words that stays the same whether it’s plural or singular, like deer.</p>

<p>Hmmm if " fish" is plural, and “fishes” is plural…thats weird…</p>
