．225.
(A) that still has a sizable wolf population, and where
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where
上题中的that修饰的是Minnesota ， 为什么不是就近修饰forty-eight states 哪? 这直接影响到that后单复数的选择。那位NN请说明一下什么时候that就近修饰，什么时候不就近修饰。是应为那个only和the only的缘故吗？这个语法点不清楚。
1. Biologists believe that they have found one of the substances that tell individual genes both when to become active and when to remain quiescent in the earliest phases of an embryo’s development.
(A) tell individual genes both when to become active and when to remain
(B) tell individual genes both at which time they should become active or should remain
(C) tells individual genes both when to become active or remain
(D) tells individual genes both when to become active or when to remain（A）
(E) will tell an individual gene both about when it should become active and remain
可是在这道题目中that修饰的是substances .
, one of+复数名词,that修饰复数名词.the only one of+复数名词,that修饰the one.参见大全885 section 04第21题:
21. With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes that is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.
(A) is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(B) is looking at its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(C) are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(D) are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting（C）
(E) are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract
要从句意上来理解,体会句子想表达什么意思.当用A is one of+复数名词(暂且称为Bs)时,句子是想说,"A是众多B里的一个",句子强调重心是A的归属:是B的一个,而不是其他的一个(例如,我们只会说,zeros是众多牛人中的一个,而不会说,zeros,很牛,是众多人中的一个),这个句子实际上已经完整了,如果要对这个句子作进一步的解释,那就是要解释"A是什么B里的一个?",而不是"什么样的A是B里的一个?",因此that定语从句必然修饰B.如上题.
当用A is the only one of B时,句子的强调重心移到了only上,表达的是"A是B中唯一的一个"(这时我们就可以说,zeros是众多人中唯一一个牛的),这个句子显然不完整,无法表达出其原来想表达的意思--为什么A是唯一的一个?唯一在哪里?因此进一步的说明一定是针对A的,从而定语从句修饰A.
做题时只要记住第一行的规律就好了.
刚想上来补充点东西,流沙MM就把贴顶出来了,心有灵犀啊．
我补充一下,区分以上两种情况应该看the而不是看only,也就是说,如果是only/but one A of B that的话,that从句仍然是要用复数修饰B的,只有当the only one A of B时,that从句才用单数修饰A.大家千万不要被only和but混淆了!(我做例子那题就被but混淆了一下)

刚刚做gwd4的时候碰到一道这样的题，和mm说的一样，最重要的是看句子重心。。。
21. With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes that is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.
此题中but的意思应该理解为“Merely; just; only:”的意思呀，为什么but在此不能视同为only呢？
如果one of n that中不是one而是其它的名词
即 n of n that 那that定从修饰of前面的名词还是后面的呢?
有the和没the，逻辑意思有什么区别呢？
我在高考英语能力突破（语法）这本书上看到：
one of + n(pl.) + 定从+ vs
this is one of the rooms that were damaged in the fire.
如果之前有the only, the very, the等限定词和修饰语时,定从中用v
she was the only one of the girls who was late for the meeting.
无THE 修饰ONE OF 时，定从修饰NS
有THE 修饰ONE OF时，定从修饰 THE ONLY ONE OF NS
HEHE
不过不知道参看高考的语法书（2003。8出版），可不可以解释GMAT的语法：）
1. With its plan to develop seven and a half acres of shore land, Cleveland is but one of a large number of communities on the Great Lakes that is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses.
(A) is looking to its waterfront as a way to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(B) is looking at its waterfront to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(C) are looking to their waterfronts to improve the quality of urban life and attract
(D) are looking to its waterfront as a way of improving the quality of urban life and attracting
(E) are looking at their waterfronts as a way they can improve the quality of urban life and attract
白勇的讲解是：but one of a larger number of communities,but one of +名词，后面的从句的动词的单复数是由of决定的。我觉得携影JJ已经说的很清楚了，只要在定冠词the出现的时候，才由of前的词决定
我知道谓语动词要用are looking，我是说为什么后面不是用their。by the way，正确答案是D吗？
ＳＵＰＥＲ ＴＨＡＮＫＳ！！！
how about this one?
Presenters at the seminar, one who is blind, will demonstrate adaptive equipment that allows visually impaired people to use computers.
(A)one who
(B)one of them who
(C)and one of them who
(D)one of whom
(E)one of which
D is the answer. According to what we dicussion above, since the "whom" represents "Presenters", there should be Vs. But it is "is" here. why?
and there is another one in XDF 补充材料：
16. One of every two businesses fail within two years.
(A) fail
(B) fails
(C) should fail
(D) may have failed
(E) has failed
B is the answer. It confusses me.
请教一下，这一题E选项错在什么地方了？
one of + 复数名词 + 单数谓语；
eg: One of my friends is in the US.（强调one）
one of + 复数名词 + 定语从句(从句复数谓语) + 主句谓语单数；
eg: One of my friends who are in the US will come to China.（强调friends）
only one of + 复数名词 + 定语从句(从句单数谓语)；
eg: Only one of my friends who is in the US will come to China.（强调only one）
以上的是行文的规律，并非所谓白勇的公理。我在http://forum.chasedream.com/dispbbs.asp?BoardID=23&ID=55441只不过是强调了在阅读中的可能的语法错误，从语法上讲阅读中的那个例子可以更好地被表达为：only one of the anti-budworm agents that is least toxic to insect-pollinators或one of the anti-budworm agents that are least toxic to insect-pollinators。
抱歉，我恐怕在前一个帖子中没有表达清楚。希望这次表达清楚了。
magieus MM可以参看一下上面的解释，个人认为解释得非常清楚；你提出的这两题都是强调的one,所以用的单数形式，再者第16题用单数其实是与every的出现有关。
p.s.livesping到底是问的哪一题的E选项呢？具体说出来大家才好帮忙解答
(B) that still has a sizable wolf population, where
(C) that still has a sizable population of wolves, and where
(D) where the population of wolves is still sizable;（E）
(E) where there is still a sizable population of wolves and where
In choices A and C, the construction that still has..., and where modifies Minnesota with clauses that are not grammatically parallel. In choice B, the omission of and illogically makes the where... clause modify wolf population rather than Minnesota—that is, choice B says in effect that the wolf population is where the wolf remains the archenemy of cattle and sheep. Choice D is grammatically constructed, but it lacks a conjunction that establishes a logical relation between the clauses; since Minnesota as a grammatical subject is separated from the clause following the semicolon, the statement there need not even pertain to Minnesota. In E, the best choice, the parallel construction of where... and where... allows both clauses to modify Minnesota.
TO LIVERPING:原題的答案就是E,由where引導的兩個從句平行;而之前大傢討論的是that引導的從句的謂語動詞是單數是復數的問題,可能混淆暸袮的視綫
and there is another one in XDF 补充材料：
16. One of every two businesses fail within two years.
(A) fail
(B) fails
(C) should fail
(D) may have failed
(E) has failed
B is the answer. It confusses me.
前面好象讲的都是"one of + 名词复数 + who/that + 动词"里动词应该用单数还是复数。
你的这个是"one of + 名词复数 + 动词"里动词的用法。这里的动词应该是单数。

这里的fall是做谓语
应该是单数
跟这帖子讨论的不是一个问题吧
这道题目没人讨论过，再捞上来
为什么选择D呢？按照法则或者携隐的说法都应该选tell，何况这里面还有一个明显的both...and...所以我觉得答案是A啊！
Biologists believe that they have found one of the
substances that tell individual
genes both when to become active and when to remain quiescent in the

(A) tell
individual genes both when to become active and when to remain
(B) tell individual genes both at which time they should
become active or should remain
(C) tells individual genes both when to become active or
remain
(D) tells individual genes both when to become active or
when to remain（A）

还有一个问题，为什么individual genes后面要用genes这个复数呢？individual不是应该是单数吗？
The choice is A with me
I choose answer A too
