  2. my friends
  3. are going
  4. to London

Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: are going

Explanation: āœ… Correct Answer: C. are going šŸ“š Explanation: The phrase 'one of' is always followed by a plural noun but takes a singular verb. This is because the subject is 'one', not 'friends'. Therefore, the verb should be 'is going' instead of 'are going'. This is a common subject-verb agreement rule in English.
