Each of these books (A) are very useful (B) to college students. (C) No error. (D)
Answer: B
The error is in part (B), are very useful; it should be is very useful.
The subject of the sentence is Each, not books. In the pattern each of + plural noun, the verb agrees with each, which is singular, so the correct sentence is Each of these books is very useful to college students. The plural noun inside the of phrase does not change this.
Part (A) is correctly formed, since each of is followed by a plural noun with a determiner (these books). Part (C), to college students, uses the right preposition after useful. So the only error is the verb.
