Hey guys,

Ive been going through Eric's flashcards and I noticed some stuff I am not too sure whether this is really correct.

1) One of the + PLURAL NOUN + that/who + SINGULAR VERB
"He is one of the persons who bakes spectacular cakes."

--> Isn't that concept incorrect? Shouldn't there be a plural verb? Look at this: https://www.urch.com/forums/faqs/3978-gm ... bakes.html


2) None should be singular, even when, to your ear, it seems as though it should be plural.
"None of the boys enjoys camping as he does."

--> How certain are we that this is correct? Imo this is just a quantifier followed by an "of-phrase". In Manhattan GMAT Prep Sentence Correction (#8) Guide on page 48 it says: (...) SANAM pronouns (Some, Any, None, All, More/Most) could be either plural or singular depending on what is contained in the "of-phrase".


3) Compare actions to like actions:
"Beeswax candles burn more cleanly than synthetic candles."

--> I know that this is not the gist of this flashcard, however shouldnt it say: "Beeswax candles burn more cleanly than synthetic candles do?


4) Target to
"The chocolate company targeted its advertising to single women."

--> Shouldn't it be "targeted at single women"? When do you say target at and when do you say target to?


Thank you
