One of the Xs that

Hi All,

I have one doubt regarding the "one of the Xs that" usage:

as per my understanding:

one of the Xs <singular verb>
one of the Xs that <plural verb>

Please tell whether my understanding is correct or not ?

Can someone please help me in clarifying the following question if the above is correct:

============================================
Minnesota is the only one of the contiguous forty-eight states that still has a sizable wolf population, and where this predator remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep.
(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where

Here OA is "E"....why there is no plural after "there" in the above option.....since we should have one of the Xs that <plural>

Thanks
Mohit

'IS' is used for population:)

goelmohit2002,

your understanding of the two rules you have summarized above is correct.
in the sentence "Minnesota..." that you have posted, the form used is slightly different. note it uses "the ony one of the X. (X is plural)" . when you say "the ony one" you obviously mean just one, thus it takes the singlular verb "is" after Minnesota. ( non-underlined portion).
the subject-verb agreement is not the issue in the given sentence. it tests parallelism IMO.

A, B, C are not parallel. D incorrectly uses a semicolon to join two non-independent clauses.

E is correct as it is parallel in form. the "is" after there refers to the "population" which is singular.

Thanks Scooby. It looks for every GMAT rule...there is something that ETS can twist with.

E.g. by putting only in the above :-(
