Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

"Every one of the interviewees is willing to take a drug test" is correct because "every one" is singular and requires a singular verb "is." A and B are incorrect because they use "either" and "everyone" which are singular, but they use plural verbs "are" which creates subject-verb agreement errors.
