Key Points

  • 'actresses that the U.S has' should be there in place of 'actress that the U.S has'
  • In the given sentence, the term ''one of'' is a singular term and generally used to talk about a noun or a pronoun.
  • The noun or a pronoun used after the phrase ''one of'' is always in the plural form (as we are talking of one person out of many).
  • The helping verb (here, was) will always be in the singular form, as the helping verb agrees with ''one of'' and not with the plural noun in the sentence.
  • Therefore, the plural form of the noun 'actresses' should be used in place of the singular noun 'actress'.
  • Some examples are given below for better understanding:
    • Almond is one of the dry fruits that I love.


Therefore, the correct sentence is: Sandra Bullock is one of the most successful actresses that the U.S has.
