The jersey of the Colombian soccer club Independiente

The jersey of the Colombian soccer club Independiente Medellín is emblazoned with five stars, each representing one of the club's five national titles.

each representing one of the club's
each of which represent one of its
each one representing one of their
all of which represent one of the club's
each of them represents one of its

The main problem with E is that we have a run-on sentence !

(E) has two independent clauses with no ";" nor a conjunction

stop focusing on ambiguous pronouns lol

Manhattan Prep OFFICIAL EXPLANATION

This sentence is grammatically correct and is also clear in terms of meaning. It uses an absolute phrase ("each representing…") to refer to the stars, correctly using the indefinite pronoun "each" to indicate that each individual star separately represents one of the team's titles. In addition, the sentence avoids pronoun issues by using the specific noun "the club's" to ensure clarity.

(A) CORRECT. This sentence is correct, for the reasons provided in the paragraph above.

(B) The plural verb “represent” does not agree with the subject “each (of which)”, which is singular.

(C) "Independiente Medellín" and "club" are singular nouns, so the plural pronoun "their" has no referent.

(D) This sentence, while grammatically sound, changes the meaning; it suggests that all five of the stars on the team's jersey represent the same title (and thus that the other four titles are not represented at all).

(E) In this sentence, the words after the comma ("each of them represents…") form a complete sentence by themselves, creating a run-on sentence overall.

Hi lary301254M7,
Is that the problem? I understand the phrase "Each of them represents..." as a modifier.

Same thing happens in the correct sentence: "Butterflies come in more than 17,000 species, each of which displays a unique wing pattern". "Each of which..." is a modifier too.

For me the error of this answer is referred to the incorrect use of the pronoun "it".

Thank you in advance for your comments!

Best,
Rodrigo.

Hi everyone,
The correct sentence "Butterflies come in more than 17,000 species, each of which displays a unique wing pattern." drove me crazy!

"each of them...", like "each of which...", is acting as a modifier or as a dependent clause?

Thank you in advance!

Best,
Rodrigo.

Hi there,

The jersey of the Colombian soccer club Independiente Medellín is emblazoned with five stars, "each representing one of the club's five national titles."

is not representing a pp phrase and as such each should refer to jersey and not stars ?

Can someone shed some light on this?
