嘿嘿!!今天刚看了这个题还晕晕的, 看了语法笔记是这么写的, 你看一下

(A) was
the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided

    

The
Oneida为集合名词，谓语应为复数were；the five-nation Iroquois League是一个整体，核心词就是League，联盟。The only one of the
five-nation Iroquois League的核心部分即为the
only one of the League。the
League本来就是单一的一个组织，所以the only
one of the League这种表达不正确、不合理。the only
one of the five nations，the
only one后面接复数名词，才是正确用法
                

    

(B) was
alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided

    

alone of的问题，类似上述A选项的the only one

    

(C) alone among the five nations of
the Iroquois League sided

    

alone在该句中作副词，强调the Oneida的唯一性

    

(D) were the only ones out of the five nations of the Iroquois League in siding

    

Only与ones前后单复数不一致

    

(E) only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided

    

only of的问题，原因同A选项分析
                

    only作形容词，表示唯一的一个，既然是唯一的一个，后面修饰的名词就不能是复数，否则语义及单复数前后矛盾
