Default Re: One of the largest in the world x World's largest

a)Brazil is one of the largest country in the world.

b)Brazil is one of World's largest country.

You say Brazil is ONE OF. So it would HAVE to be plural - i.e. ONE OF THE LARGEST COUNTRIES.
So:

a)Brazil is one of the largest countries in the world.

b)Brazil is one of the world's largest countries.

Will that work?
