स्पष्टीकरण व व्याकरण नियम (Subject-Verb Agreement):
•
पर्याय (4) "She is one of the best mothers that have ever lived."
•
अचूक वाक्य. 'One of + Plural Noun + that/who' या रचनेत सापेक्ष सर्वनाम 'that' हे लगतच्या अनेकवचनी नामाशी (mothers) सहमत असते. त्यामुळे त्यापुढील क्रियापद अनेकवचनी (have) येते.
•
इतर पर्यायांमधील त्रुटी:
•
पर्याय (1): "The fleet have set sail." — 'Fleet' (काफिला) हे समुदायवाचक नाम एकजिनसी समूह दर्शवत असल्याने एकवचनी क्रियापद 'has' हवे $\rightarrow$ *The fleet has set sail*.
•
पर्याय (2): "John, as well as James, deserve praise." — 'as well as' ने जोडलेल्या वाक्यात क्रियापद पहिल्या कर्त्यानुसार (John) एकवचनी हवे $\rightarrow$ *John, as well as James, deserves praise*.
•
पर्याय (3): "You, who is my friend..." — 'who' चा पूर्ववर्ती घटक 'You' असल्याने क्रियापद 'are' हवे $\rightarrow$ *You, who are my friend...*

English Explanation / स्पष्टीकरण:
Correct Answer: Option (4) She is one of the best mothers that have ever lived.
Grammar Rules and Subject-Verb Agreement:
•
Option (4): "She is one of the best mothers that have ever lived."
•
Correct sentence. In the construction *one of the + plural noun + relative pronoun (that/who)*, the relative clause modifies the plural antecedent noun (*mothers*), taking a plural verb (*have*).
•
Flaws in Other Sentences:
•
Option (1): *The fleet* takes singular *has*, not plural *have*.
•
Option (2): When joined by *as well as*, the verb agrees with the primary subject (*John*), requiring singular *deserves*.
•
Option (3): The relative pronoun *who* refers to *You*, requiring *who are*, not *who is*.
Analysis of Options:
•
Options (1), (2), (3): Contain subject-verb agreement errors.
•
Option (4): Correct answer.
