    A This play is Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B divided into three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C acts, and each acts Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D has three scenes Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The grammatical error of the sentence is in option C. “Each” is a determiner that is always followed by a singular noun. However, in the given sentence, it is followed by a plural noun i.e. ‘acts’ which is erroneous. Thus, replace “acts” with “act” to make the sentence grammatically correct. Correct sentence: This play is divided into three acts, and each act has three scenes.
