people vs person

[riteranj]

I am little confused about the complicated structure of this sentence. Is it correct sentence?

"Alan is one of the most committed people amongst the White House staff."

people or person?

[Jim@StratusPrep]

people is correct.

person is singular.

[riteranj]

So 'one' is directly connected to "amongst the White House staff" in this way you mean-

"Alan is one [of the most committed people] amongst the White House staff."

I am confused that perhaps this linking "people amongst the White House staff" is more visible.

thanks for interest shown!
