For most test takers, Data Insights is the most challenging section on the GMAT, with test takers scoring several points lower on average on DI than on Quant or Verbal and completing the section with less time to spare.

Hi guys,
Can you please help me with this
A) He is the only one of the students who has already taken latin.
Or
B) He is the only one of the students who
I would go for B since 'who' I think means students - reason immediate proximity - refferent rule.
Also is the meaning he is the only one (with dyed hair) among those who have taken latin - as in B?
or he is the only one who has taken latin among the students - as in A
Meaning is more clear in A - but refferent rule points to B

I would choose First sentence.
In the First sentence:
He is the only one of the students who has already taken latin.
We have used 'only one', it means he is the only guy who has taken latin and noone else has taken latin.
'who have' will be used when we say:
He is one of the students who have already taken latin.
I am not sure but it is just my understanding.
Anyone who knows rule might add more details or correct me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Brajesh

I agree with b14kumar that we have to count on the meaning of the sentence, to see to whom/which the "who" clause really refers to/ modifies.
In the first sentence, we are talking about the unique characteristic of "he" ..how it is, only "who" clause makes it clear that he "has taken Latin" ---> who clause directly modifies the subject " he" ---> the verb should be "has"
In the second one, we're talking about a "he" belonging to a group. How that group is? ..."who" clause makes it clear: a group of those who have taken Latin --> "who" clause modifies "students" ---> verb should be "have".
The sentence in this case falls into the first type --> A is better.
