writing Q help??

<p>i got stuck on this one. maybe its because my brain is too tired right now.</p>

<p>The young fish (were) very tiny, yet each of (them ate) many times (its) own (weight in) solid food every day. (No error)</p>

<p>A, B, C, D, or E? plz explain ur answer.</p>

<p>C should be "their".</p>

<p>i think its A</p>

<p>were is suppose to be was since the young fish is singular.</p>

<p>it is not C because its goes back to each , which is singular.</p>

<p>I could be wrong though. I only scored a 600 on writing.</p>

<p>The answer is C.</p>

<p>A is correct because "fish" can be singular or plural.</p>

<p>I thought whenever you see "each" its always singular. doesn't its modify each?</p>

<p>E, correct as is.</p>

<p>I agree.</p>

<p>E- correct as it is</p>

<p>There can't be more than 1 error in the sentence.
If you change "were" then "them" is incorrect, so the SAT is implicity telling you that
fish is plural in this sentence.</p>

<p>yes, it is E. "each" is singular so it should be "its"</p>

<p>Yeah, I agree. It should be E.</p>

<p>It's correct as it is, even though it sounds weird, because this is a very common error ("each" is always singular but in casual writing many people assume it can be plural).</p>

<p><em>has learned something</em> Oops. Thanks guys.</p>

<p>yeah, the answer is e.</p>

<p>just to be redundant, it's E</p>
