The African continent comprises more than 50 countries, each diverse in their cultures and languages.
B. diverse in its c. is diverse in its Why B is correct? Does C create a comma splice?

Thank you!

First, here’s an important thing to know: “each” is singular. So you need to use “its,” not “their,” to refer to “each.” I think you knew that, which is why you’re only asking about B and C. As for your question, yes, exactly. C creates a run-on.

I still cannot understand how the correct answer makes the sentence grammatically correct. “The African continent comprises more than 50 countries, each diverse in its cultures and languages.” What is the structure behind ” each diverse in its cultures and languages” ? Diverse is an adjective, each stand for “each country”, ??? am I missing something here ? Please help. Thanks in advance.
