Which each usage is ambiguous
(D) When an incumbent queen ant in a termite colony dies, many potential females, each of which lies in anxious wait,
comma after potential females doesn't sound correct

daagh
Another good one daagh. You get +1 for it.
I pick E as the correct answer.
A- Simply wrong. "potentially females", "would lie in anxious wait"
B- Incoorect: Wrong use of subgroup modifier "each of the many" when it should be either "each of which+verb", "each of them" or "each". Secondly, there is a disareement between subject and verb. When a subject is preceded by the word "each" we always use a singular verb.
C- Incorrect: Disagreement between the subject "females" and the verb "is" when it should be "are". Moreover, this sentence plainly sounds awkward and is more wordier than others.
D- Incorrect: Disagreement between the subject and the verb. Should be "are" as "each2 follows the subject in this case.
E: Best Answer.
Let me know if I am right.
