Correct Answer: these books belongs


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

The phrase one of the followed by a plural noun requires a singular verb. Although the phrase will contain a plural noun, it should receive a singular verb to agree with the noun phrase. Thus, the singular form of the verb, i.e., belongs should be used.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: Only one of these books belongs to the school library.
