A higher interest rate is only one of the factors, albeit an important one, that keeps the housing market from spiraling out of control, like it did earlier in the decade.

a) that keeps the housing market from spiraling out of control, like it did earlier in the decade.
b) that keep the housing market from spiraling out of control, as it did earlier in the decade
c) that keeps the housing market from spiraling out of control, as it did earlier in the decade
d) that keep the housing market from spiraling out of control, like earlier in the decade
e) that keep the housing market from spiraling out of control, like it did earlier in the decade

I have no problem understanding the OA but please let me know how to distinguish singular from plural in this context? I had two options in my Mind but chose the wrong one?
If the problem is Easy Respect it, if the problem is tough Attack it

Always remember the following rules,

One of the 'Noun' (will always be plural) + that/who + Plural Verb

One of the 'Noun' (will always be plural)+Singular Verb (usually 'is')

In this original sentence,

One of the factors that keep/keeps.

Here 'that' refer to factors.So plural verb keep must be used.

Eliminate A and C.

Here the action (keep the housing market from spiraling out of control) is compared in both clauses.So "as" must be used.

Pick B

Hope this clarify!!!

Hope this clarify!!!

What are the other generic usage of this rule?

Does it apply for other indefinite pronouns too like:
Some of the "Noun" (will always be plural) + that/who + Plural Verb
Some of the "Noun" (will always be plural)+Singular Verb (usually "is")

OR

All of the "Noun" (will always be plural) + that/who + Plural Verb
All of the "Noun" (will always be plural)+Singular Verb (usually "is")

Please clarify?
Cheers,
Sumit

The rules for Some & All are explained in MGMAT first chapter(SANAM pronouns)

Some/All of the Noun(Plural)+that/who+Plural verb

Some/All of the Noun(Plural)+Plural verb

Some/All of the Noun(Singular)+that/who+Singular verb

Some/All of the Noun(Singular)+Singular verb

The verb is determined by the noun object of "of" phrase.
