Here is the best way to differentiate choice A, B and C
(A) each of the campus buildings a monument to the era in which it was
(B) all of the campus buildings a monument to the era in which they were
(C) all of the campus buildings a monument to the era in which it was
In B and C, "all" is one of the SANAM pronouns (Some, Any, None, All and Many ) that can be either singular or plural depending upon the context of the sentence, or more specifically based on the 'of' construction. Therefore, since its "of the campus buildings" and buildings is plural then the rest of the sentence must also be plural
Since C uses "it", a singular verb. This makes C incorrect.
While B correctly uses "they", there is a meaning error in B. Specifically, all of the campus buildings cannot be "a monument". As such, B is incorrect because it implies that all of the buildings across all campuses represent 1 monument
A is correct because "each" is singular so it agrees with the singular pronoun "it". "Each" also correctly implies that each building is a monumnet by itself.
Please leave a kudos if this helped!

Hi,
the Q is all about choosing correct combination of each/every/all of the buldings with a monument and pronoun was/were.....
a monument is speaking of each building so EACh and pronoun IT is required
Only A follows it correctly
A

Dear Friends,
Here is a detailed explanation to this question-
Choice A: Option A maintains proper subject-verb agreement throughout the sentence and conveys the intended meaning of the sentence. Thus, Option A is correct.
Choice B: In Option B, we see a meaning error. Through the phrase, "all of the campus buildings a monument", this answer choice implies that all of the campus buildings across the Ivy League campuses represent a singular monument. This implication does not make logical sense. Thus, Option B is incorrect.
Choice C: In Option C, the pronoun "all" is used alongside the noun "campus buildings"; this means that "all" is singular in this sentence. Therefore, the use of the singular pronoun "it" is incorrect. Thus, Option C is incorrect.
Choice D: In Option D, we see a subject-verb disagreement between "every" and "were". Thus, Option D is incorrect.
Choice E: In Option E, we see a subject-verb disagreement between "each" and "were". Thus, Option E is incorrect.
Hence, A is the best answer choice.
It should be noted here that "all" is one of the pronouns that can be singular or plural, depending on the context. These pronouns, which also include "some", "none", "any", and "many", are usually used with the conjunction "of" and will be singular or plural, depending on the form of the noun or pronoun that follows "of".
