One of The First Ones

[Darryus]

Does the clause which I underlined make sense?

"It's one of the first ones I"ve seen on this topic that really hits the mark in so many ways"

I got the passage from this website

 

[Matthew Wai]

I think it makes sense.
The writer had seen several ones first, and she was referring to one of them.

The word 'ones' is redundant.

It would have saved some of my time if you had said that this sentence appears in the 11th paragraph(!) of your link.

Hello, Darryus:

My teachers taught me that it is often easier to analyze a sentence if you simplify it.

It's one of the first ones (that) I've seen on this topic that really hits the mark in so many ways.

As you can see, the basic sentence is: "It's one that really hits the mark in so many ways."

The underlined words could be deleted without harming the basic meaning of your sentence.

Hello Rover_KE, at first I want to thank u for your help, and I feel so sorry that I did not tell you the exact location of the sentence appears.


Finally, I agree with your answer that it is redundant Can we still say the word "the first ones" as we have said the word "one of". Does not the meaning of the first is just having one object?

Finally, I agree with your answer that it is redundant. Can we still say the phrase [STRIKE]word[/STRIKE] "the first ones" as we have said the phrase [STRIKE]word[/STRIKE] "one of"? (no period.) Does not (or Doesn't) [STRIKE]the meaning of[/STRIKE] "the first" mean there is just [STRIKE]having[/STRIKE] one object?

Note my corrections above.

Note my corrections above.

Is the word "there" a must to have in the interrogative sentence "Doesnt the first mean there just one object?"

I made a mistake in my corrections. I struck out the word "is" where I shouldn't have. Please see the updated version of post #7.

Sorry for confusing the issue.
