Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has to seek financial solvency, because a nation can be only as solid as its citizens.
(A) Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has
(B) So that our nation achieves financial solvency, many leaders believe that all of our millions of citizens has
(C) It is believed by many leaders that, for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens who has
(D) Many leaders believe that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, every one of our millions of citizens have
(E) So that our nation will achieve financial solvency, many leaders believe that each of our millions of citizens has
Correctly answering this question requires noticing subject-verb agreement issues and paying careful attention to the meanings conveyed by the basically grammatically correct choices. The correct answer is written to seem a little off. So, if we’re not careful, we’ll be tempted to choose one of the more correct sounding incorrect choices.
Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has to seek financial solvency, because a nation can be only as solid as its citizens.
(A) Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has
This choice employs an inverted sentence structure to obscure the fact that it is the correct answer to this question. Notice, the subject of the sentence is expressed by the noun clause that follows “is.” So, we could reverse the sentence to make it the following:
That, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has to seek financial solvency, because a nation can be only as solid as its citizens is believed by many leaders.
Also, this version correctly uses the singular verb “has” with the singular subject “each of our millions of citizens.”
Correct Answer
(B) So that our nation achieves financial solvency, many leaders believe that all of our millions of citizens has
This choice can be eliminated because the version created via the use of this choice does not make sense, since it does not make sense to say that “many leaders believe” something in order for the nation to achieve financial solvency.
Also, this version incorrectly uses a singular verb, “has,” with subject “all of our millions of citizens,” which does not start with “each” or “every” but, rather, with “all,” and so this subject is plural, not singular.
(C) It is believed by many leaders that, for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens who has
While this version starts off correctly, when we combine this answer choice with the non-underlined portion, we see that what may at first appear to be a noun clause beginning with “that” actually has no main verb. As a result, we have the following illogical structure: “that … each of our millions of citizens who has to seek financial solvency.” We can see even more clearly why this structure does not work if we read it along with the rest of the sentence.
It is believed by many leaders that … each of our millions of citizens who has to achieve financial solvency ….
(D) Many leaders believe that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, every one of our millions of citizens have
This version is correct except for one word, the plural “have,” which does not agree with the singular subject “every one of our millions of citizens.”
(E) So that our nation will achieve financial solvency, many leaders believe that each of our millions of citizens has
All subjects and verbs in this version agree, and this version is basically grammatically correct.
However, this version expresses an illogical meaning, that many leaders believe something so that the nation will achieve financial solvency. It doesn’t make sense that leaders would believe something so that the nation will achieve financial solvency. We have to be careful to notice such meaning issues, so that we don’t choose an illogical choice like this one over one like the inversely structured, somewhat odd sounding choice (A).

(B) So that our nation achieves financial solvency, many leaders believe that all of our millions of citizens has
(C) It is believed by many leaders that, for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens who has - Once put into the original sentence does not give a complete meaningful sentence.
(D) Many leaders believe that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, every one of our millions of citizens have
(E) So that our nation will achieve financial solvency, many leaders believe that each of our millions of citizens has
Hence (A) is the OA

Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has to seek financial solvency, because a nation can be only as solid as its citizens.
(A) Believed by many leaders is that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens has : Sounds wrong but rest all are ok grammatically. Lets keep it
(B) So that our nation achieves financial solvency, many leaders believe that all of our millions of citizens has : Wrong Idiom use of SO THAT
(C) It is believed by many leaders that, for our nation to achieve financial solvency, each of our millions of citizens who has : 'It' has no antecedent but it could be a place holder too. Passive voice is an issue here.
(D) Many leaders believe that, in order for our nation to achieve financial solvency, every one of our millions of citizens have : Each/every/everyone are singular and hence HAS should be used and not have.
(E) So that our nation will achieve financial solvency, many leaders believe that each of our millions of citizens has : Wrong Idiom use
Hence A is our answer.
