    Question Subject Verb Agreement

    Consider the following sentence:
    "Exercise is one of the factors which contributes to good health"

    Is this grammatically correct? Shouldn't it be "factors which contribute to good health"
    I mean isnt contributing to good health qualifying "factors" here?

    Yes, you are right; it's incorrect.
