How to understand grammar in this sentense?

[cuongmits]

"Among those inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer."

Does it mean: "Among people, who inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New Your writer." ?

I understand the meaning, but I'm juz confusing why "those" can be used there?

Please masters, can you help me?

Amongst those [people who have been] inspired to become...

There is an ellipsis - the missing phrase is understood from the context.

Why dont we write it:
"Among those have been inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer."
or
"Among those been inspired to become a green-tea drinker is Tess Ghilaga, a New York writer."

Can you please give me more example about that ellipsis Anglika?

[Anglika]

In the context of these sentences you need "who". The collocation is "those people who" with "people" being omitted but understood from context.

Those [people/students] who question the expert may receive short shrift
Those [people] who read comics never learn good English
Those [people] who are seriously ill need medical care.

Other examples of ellipsis:

He is as tall as his brother [is]

She runs as fast as her sister [does/can]


Those [films] are Hollywood's best examples
