Show answer and solution
Answer: (C) who has ever
In 'one of the + plural noun + who', the relative pronoun refers to the plural 'poets', so the verb must be 'have'. The trap is to agree with 'one', which is singular. Strike out the intervening phrase, find the real subject, and then decide whether the verb should be singular or plural; this habit quickly removes most such traps.
