Hi,
I have a question regarding a SC question that uses 'One of the...' The following question utilizes it:
"With a new park, stadium, and entertainment complex along the Delaware River, Trenton, New Jersey, is but one of a large number of communities that is looking to use its waterfront as a way for it to improve the quality of urban life and attract new businesses"
while I was solving the problem I was conflicted with either 'is' or 'are'. In the MGMAT class we learned about removing the 'of' middleman. In this problem we see 'one of a large number of communities.' My first instinct was to remove the of portion, but this proved incorrect. Is the phrase 'one of ...' an exception to the rule? [/u]
