Hi Everybody,
Can you please clarify on the following "One of the" Constructions:
One of the most significant trends that the auto industry has experienced in the last 50 years IS the migration of motorists from passengers cars to minivans.
My understanding is as below:
Whenever we have "One of the" constructions, the noun referred to by that decides the singularity/plurality of the verb that follows.
However in the above sentence, I see that though "trends" is referred to by "that" it is still followed by singular verb "has". Is this correct?
I do agree that the "IS" referred later correctly correlates to the "one of the most significant trends".
Is my understanding right here or is the sentence as mentioned correct as-is?
Thanks,
Vijay

"One" is always singular; it doesn't borrow from any later modifiers:
One of the best singers in England is performing tonight.
One of our cats is missing.
One of the problems was the lack of communication among the team.
Most people agree that one of the best things about summer is ice cream.

Yes, the that is referring to trends. But it is the (singular) auto industry that the (again singular) has experienced needs to agree with.
