Hi Thang77
To me, the use of ‘their every’ in (B) sounds fine. In my opinion, that would also be grammatically correct. Perhaps a more commonly used sentence would be something like this: ‘She hung on his every word.’
However, the word ‘action’ sounds a little bit odd to me in the context. I’d prefer the word ‘move’.
Where did you get this fill in the blank question from?
