Hi, give a try. I guess is answer (2) lives

See the words in bold. Hope is correct.

Dd wrote 2 but was given wrong by the teacher saying that the answer is 1 live

Hi,

Yes the answer is (1) live as it refers to the \"boys\" and not 'one'.

I thought should be singular ie \"lives\". :roll:

One of the boys IS my classmate --> Referring to one of the boys.
One of the boys WHO live next door is my classmate --> 'live' refers to 'the boys next door'. There are many boys living next door, but only 1 boy is the classmate.

Hi Mrswongtution

OIS. I choose this \"lives\" because of the following examples:

A bunch of keys was .....................
The packets of good were ..................

Thank you for your explanation. :lol:
