Choose the correct word to complete the following sentence:

One of the problems in our business today ___that of disposing of the surplus.

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

The subject is 'One of the problems'. The head noun is 'One', which is singular, so the verb must be singular. The sentence describes a present situation ('today'), so the present tense 'is' is correct: 'One of the problems... is that of disposing of the surplus.'
