Thereare collective nouns that can be used either as plural or as singular. Thechoice of the verb form following such nouns depends on the exact meaning ofthe noun in a specific context. When the noun is used in the sense of acollective as a whole, the verb takes the singular form. If, on the other hand,the noun is used in the sense of the individuals that make the collective, theverb takes the plural form.

Subject-verb Concord—guidingprinciple (3)

In theconstruction of “one of +plural nouns +relative clause”, the principle ofgrammatical concord is generally observed.
