All of the letters in the Cyrillic alphabet, one of which is borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabet, represents specific sounds in spoken Russian.
one of which is borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabet, represents
one of which is borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabet, represent
each of which of those borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabets, represent
each of which has been borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabet, represents
each of which is borrowed from either the Greek or Latin alphabet, represent
OA:E
My Doubt: What's wrong with B ?
How to figure out from the sentence that which of the two, one/each, is to be used ?
Surely, the difference between B and E is that of meaning.
And meaning wise B and E are much different. How do you know what is the right meaning that the sentence is trying to convey ?
Thoughts ?

"one of which" makes it sound like only one letter was taken from the Greek or Latin alphabet..

Hi Tim,
What you said in your post above was not at all helpful.
I do understand the meaning difference between one/each. What I was asking for instructors to clarify was which meaning to chose from the two grammatically correct answers ?

i'm sorry if you did not feel that my answer was helpful. i told you the meaning of B, which both of your posts indicated you wanted me to do. if my explanation of B is not enough for you to determine that the meaning of B is absurd, then nothing anyone can tell you will help. part of what you have to do on your own with this one is to recognize that it makes no sense for the sentence to say that only one letter comes from the Greek or Latin alphabets, and for that reason the meaning of B is wrong..
