Show answer and solution
Answer: (A) Each of the cadets have to submit
'Each' is singular, so the verb must be 'has to submit'. The plural noun 'cadets' in the prepositional phrase does not control the verb. The singular pronoun 'his' later in the sentence already agrees with 'each', which is a useful clue to the intended number.
