Select the most appropriate option to improve the bold part of the sentence.
He is one of those players who has scored the most goals.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
In sentences using the structure 'one of the [plural noun] + who/that,' the relative pronoun ('who' or 'that') refers to the plural noun (the antecedent), not the singular 'one.'
Subject-Verb Agreement: Since 'who' refers to the plural noun 'players,' the verb that follows must also be plural.
Correction: The plural form of 'has scored' is 'have scored.'
Comparison:
Original: He is one of those players who has scored... (Incorrect: 'has' suggests only one player scored).
Correct: He is one of those players who have scored... (Correct: He belongs to the group of players who have all scored the most goals).
