Complete the tired teacher's thoughts about her students' missing homework by choosing the correct option for each blank.
Mrs. Higgins sighed as she looked at her empty desk. _________________________ of the students has a highly creative excuse for why their assignment is missing. After thirty years of teaching, she has heard practically _________________________ excuse in the book, including the one about a time-traveling hamster.
The correct answers are Each and every.
Each is correct because it can be followed by "of the" to act as a pronoun. "Every of the" is grammatically incorrect (you would have to say "Every one of the"). "All" is incorrect because the sentence uses the singular verb "has" (it would be "All of the students have").
every is used in the second blank because adverbs of degree like practically, almost, and nearly are only used with every. "All" would require the plural noun "excuses".
