Greatly influenced by the Protestant missionary Samuel Kirkland, the Oneida was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.
was the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League who sided
was alone of the five-nation Iroquois League when they sided
alone among the five nations of the Iroquois League sided
were the only ones out of the five nations of the Iroquois League in siding
only of the five-nation Iroquois League had sided
alone adj或adv,C中alone作副词,the Oneida sided alone with the colonists during the American Revolution among the five-nation Iroquois League.
league联盟,是单数,不能说the only one of +单数名词,不能说the only oneS
其实化简一下就是 the Oneida alone sided with the colonists during the American Revolution.
among the five nations of the Iroquois League是状语
1. "five-nation" is actually an adjective. So, the five-nation Iroquois League is a singular noun phrase. We cannot say "one of/ alone of/ only of / the five-nation Iroquois League". i.e. these constructions seem like "one of apple/ alone of apple / only of apple". So, we can kill A, B and E.
D. Only与ones前后单复数不一致。
D ones歧义,可能表示不是来自一个nation
原句逻辑语义:极大地受到新教传教士塞缪尔·柯克兰的影响,奥奈达市是易洛魁五国联盟中唯一一个与殖民者站在同一阵营的,在美国革命期间。
A. The Oneida为集合名词,谓语应为复数were。
B. The Oneida为集合名词,谓语应为复数were。
C.正确。
D. Only与ones前后单复数不一致。
E.使用过去完成时没有根据,本句为对过去事件的简单描述,不够成“过去的过去”这一时点,所以不应该使用过去完成时。

1.the+一类人 pl 排除AB
2.the only one of the five-nation Iroquois League即the only one of League,the only one of+n复才对,表示许多N中的一个,这里league单数,错,同理onlyof,alone of-----排除ABE
3.D:the only 表示唯一的,ones表示复数 矛盾,Oneida是one不是ones
4.E:过去完成时 没必要
5.C:正确 the Oneida主语 (alone 相当于only强调唯一 among the five nationsN复正确 of the Iroquois League) sided谓语 with...
A错是主谓一致 the Oneida 要跟复数登录 或 注册 后可以参加讨论
2) If I know that "the Oneida" refers to an entire tribe / group / race and hence plural, then 'was' would be incorrect and 'who' would be correct.
