EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Amore powerful members
- Bmost powerful members
- Cmost powerful member
- Dmore powerful member
Explanation
'One of the top ten' requires two things: the superlative degree ('most', not the comparative 'more') and a plural noun ('members', since 'one of' always selects from a plural group). 'More powerful members' uses the wrong degree, and the singular 'member' options violate the 'one of + plural' rule. Hence (B) most powerful members is correct.
