Welcome back! One of my best _________________________ is designing the new living room for our lucky winners. She believes that the modern ____________________________ we ordered will completely transform the space. However, each of the decorators _________________________ to paint the walls a completely different shade of neon pink. This is going to be a disaster!
One of my best friends...
The phrase "one of" must always be followed by a plural noun, because you are singling out one person or thing from a larger group.
...the modern furniture...
"Furniture" is an uncountable noun in English. It never takes an "s" at the end, even when you are talking about multiple chairs, tables, and sofas!
...each of the decorators wants...
The pronoun "each" is singular, so it requires a singular verb ("wants"), even though it is followed by a plural noun phrase ("of the decorators").
