The correct answer should be: This sandwich is the only one ... that IS inedible.

I have been struggling a lot with these as well, but the main point is the presence or absence of the word "the" that makes all the difference.

If it says "the only one of...", then it's singular.
If it says "only one of... (without the)", then it's plural.

If you want to understand why is it so, I found this post helpful: https://www.manhattangmat.com/forums/ver ... t2091.html

I believe it should be ARE.
Since, we are describing SANDWICHES, not THIS SANDWICH.

Hi sameerballani,

Notice the descriptive word "inedible" at the end of the sentence? The "intent" of the sentence is that this ONE sandwich is the only one that's inedible, so we have a singular subject ("this sandwich"). Singular subject --> singular verb --> "is".
