I am totally confused in this rule.i know this has beed discussed a lot of time.

1 One of the X.............VERB (should be plural or singular.....and whether it should depend upon X

2 Usage of None instead of one.Is None singular(In some books it is defined as singular...But i guess it is a SANAM pronoun..)

3 One of the X THAT....Verb (on which should verb depend)....in this case does verb depends upon subject of the sentence....

Please add any more sentence for this rule.....

Hope this helps


One of X << verb>> always singular

One of X that <<verb >> verb depends upon the X

[parallel_chase]

Here are all the contructions

One of X ---- Singular [because ONE is the subject]

e.g. One of the models of advanced machine was designed by Megacorp.


X is one of Y ---- depends on X, whether X is singular or plural [ because X is the subject here]

X is one of Y + who/that+ verb [ Here verb will depend on Y, because the verb following who/that always depend on the noun preceding it.]

e.g. Licorice is one of the few flavors that appeal to me


P90 is one of the few assault rifles that have shorter range but 100 round magazines.



None = No One

Either of the two constructions are correct, but GMAT prefers None because of the concision.

None Of X

None here can be singular or plural depending on X
