`Usage Note: When constructions headed by one appear
`as the subject of a sentence or relative clause, there may be a
`question whether the verb should be singular or plural, as in
`One of every ten rotors was found defective. Although the
`plural were is sometimes used in such sentences, an earlier
`survey found that the singular was preferred by a large ma-
`jority of the Usage Panel. 0 In the sentence The defeat turned
`out to be one of the most costly blows that were ever inflicted
`- on our forces, most grammarians would hold that the plural
`were is correct, inasmuch as the subject of the verb is the
`plural noun blows. However, constructions of this sort are
`often used with a singular verb even by the best writers. Note
`also that when the phrase containing one is introduced by the
`definite article, the verb in the relative clause must be singular:
`He is the only one of us who has (not have) already taken
`Latin. See Usage Note at he‘.
