Question

Nora is one of the candidates who (are or is) worthy of my vote.
"Nora" is a subject and "is" is its verb. "Who" here also is a subject but do we use "is" with who or "are" with who? **Please provide a clear explanation** or else i will rate you 0.

Answer 1

Answer:

are

Explanation:

When using "who", we might use are or is. It depends on the rest of the sentence.

"Who are we?"

"Who is ready to go?"

Both are correct.

- who are "we" {we is plural}

- who is... {asking about a specific individual's status}

Even though the rest of the sentence agrees with the singular "is" as opposed to "are"; You could say "Those are the candidates who are worthy of my vote".

For the first part of the sentence, you're specifically talking about a singular subject [not plural], Nora.

Because Nora "is" one of...

For the second part, you're talking about a group of candidates [plural] so following "who" should be "are".

Nora is one of the candidates who are worthy of my vote.

{You can almost always separate a sentence like this. }

Answer 2

“Is” is the answer
Nora is a singular noun, so it should be follow by the singular verb “is”

Note: if you also want to know the right answer, always replace the noun with a pronoun. In this case Nora is she so it will be followed by the verb is.
