Hi,
Came across this question- steel-is-one-of-the-most-widely-used-construction-metals-which-is-an-302665.html#p2336991
How to determine the subject verb agreement for the subject (X) in sentences containing the phrase 'X, One of the somethings(plural)'?
And what about the case: X, One of the somethings(plural) that ....?
Can relative pronouns refer to nouns before the preceding verb?
KarishmaB bb GMATNinja CrackverbalGMAT looking forward to your guidance
TIA

I understand this question is not directed to me, but thought I will mention that our book EducationAisle Sentence Correction Nirvana discusses this concept.
Have attached the corresponding section of the book, for your reference.

‘One’ or ‘only one’ or ‘the only one’ make singular subjects.
Examples:
One of my friends is leaving today.
(The verb ‘is’ agrees with the subject ‘one.’)
One of my friends who are staying at that hotel is leaving today.
(The verb ‘is’ agrees with the subject ‘one’. Note that the essential ‘who’ clause is modifying the plural noun ‘friends’ since all friends are staying at the hotel. So,
‘who,’ the subject of the ‘who’ clause is plural ‘friends’. Hence, we use ‘are’ in the ‘who’ clause.)
The only one of my cars that gives a mileage of more than 20 miles/gallon is this.
(There is only one car that gives this mileage. So, we use the singular ‘gives’.)
One of four people develops cataract before reaching 50 years of age.
One person in four develops cataract before reaching 50 years of age.
(Note that we use singular ‘develops’ in both cases above because one person develops cataract, not four.)
