Shouldn't it be "who believes"?

[judith]

hi Alan,

i hope you don't mind but i have found a misspelling.

test 48, question 10
I apprectiate your hard work but sometimes you're so fast that you miss the details and I think it's a case of more haste less speed.

and that: shouldn't it be " who believes"?

test 48, question 7
He's one of the get rich quick fraternity who believe in making money as quickly as possible.

Hi Judith,

Many thanks for pointing out the typo for 'appreciate. Your other point about 'believe' I think needs some further explanation. It's all right to use a plural after a singular subject when that noun is considered to be plural in meaning. Here 'fraternity' means people belonging to that particular group.

Thanks again

Alan
