S-H: Sorry for my incorrect answer! nicnac is correct. I read too fast.
answer: knowS-H:
Hi pls help! Thank you.
Thomas is one of the boys who ______(know/knows) where the suspect has hidden the stolen wallet.
The 2nd verb (know/knows) comes after 'who', and it agrees with the plural noun ( boys) before who
The trick is to look at the meaning of the sentence rather than just the form of the words. In these sentences, the rest of the sentence applies to the group - eg. all the boys know where the wallet was hidden, all like the outdoor life.
Contrast this with:
He is the only one of the boys who knows where the suspect has hidden the stolen wallet.
He is the only one of those (boys) who likes an outdoor life.
Apologies again! -

Anna is the tallest girl in class.
no other___. -
That’s an odd S&T. My guess would be:
(1) There are no other girls in class (who are) taller than Anna.
(2) Anna is shorter than no other girls in class.
