    As far as i know, in my humble knowledge, there should be his/her instead of their in the sentence as possessive/ reflexive pronoun. Kindly, if i am wrong, correct me, thankyou!

    I think, Their own research must be replaced by His own research.

    You have mention in your previous question that 'each of' corresponds to a singular pronoun and plural verb.
    Eg: each of us loves his home.
    So, in the above question it should be:-
    Each of the students in the computer class has to type his own research paper this semester.
    Please clear my doubts.

    In Part C 'their' should be replaced by 'his'

  18. RUDRA PRATAP

    no it is not correct to use 'HIS' because
    1. it is clearly written students(plural) so it is not correct to use he(singular.)
    2. it is nowhere said that the CLASS consist of only boys.
