Hi,
I always get confused between the following.
XYZ, one of the greatest.....
XYZ, who was one of the greatest ......
XYZ is one of the greatest.
For eg:
Daniel Bernoulli, one/who was/is one of the greatest mathematicians of the 18th century and the father of modern hydrodynamics dedicated his life to pioneering work in astronomy and mathematical physics.
Given Daniel Bernoulli, one of the greatest..... is CORRECT, but I want to know why the rests are wrong and when to use them.
Thanks.

Hi shweta5
I am not sure whether you are referring to this question:
https://gmatclub.com/forum/born-and-raised-in-groningen-netherlands-the-life-of-daniel-bernoull-270261.html#p2092502
XYZ is one of the greatest.
this one is wrong because the sentence will be :
Daniel Bernoulli is one of the greatest mathematicians of the 18th century and the father of modern hydrodynamics dedicated his life to pioneering work in astronomy and mathematical physics.
In this case, the subject "Daniel" has a verb "is", leaving "dedicated with no subject to relate to.
XYZ, one of the greatest
XYZ, who was one of the greatest
both are right and can be equally used (in the context you suggested)
