Model Answer
The correct answer is (B) All.
"All candidates must carry their identification proof." — 'All' is used with plural nouns to refer to the entire group collectively.
Explanation
- 'All' is used before a plural noun (candidates) to refer to every member of a group collectively.
- 'Each' and 'Every' are used with singular nouns (e.g., "Each candidate…" / "Every candidate…"), so they don't fit the plural 'candidates'.
- 'One' changes the meaning entirely.
- Examiners look for correct determiner-noun agreement in such fill-in-the-blank grammar questions.
