Option 2 : Q

The error lies in part Q of the question. Therefore the correct answer is option 2.

The word 'each' is a distributive pronoun. Distributive pronouns are those pronouns which refer to persons or things one at a time i.e. separately and not collectively. With the distributive pronoun 'each', the singular form of the verb is used.
For example- 

Each of the students likes to play during recess time. (it means every single student likes to play)

Correct Sentence- Each of you was looking bored during the lecture.

Tip- It is important to note that a distributive pronoun (like each, either, neither) is always singular and therefore must be followed by a singular verb.
