the oneida作为people，是用复数，所以用were，这里得ones有问题吗？

是the Oneida were the only ones...还是the Oneida were the only one...?

另外D项里面的“in siding"是不是用得不太好？造成歧义？

从题意来看,the Oneida应该是某一个Iroquois League,指的是整体概念,我觉得用单数比较好

in siding倒没有觉得有歧异

ABE都有明显错误,相比C,D, C选项更简洁,通顺

the Oneida 到底是用单数，还是用复数，还是要看具体语境而定？ 请知道的NN给个说法，迷惑中！

Oneida (pl. Oneida, Oneidas)奥奈达人(美国纽约州、威斯康星州的印第安人)
 
英英解释:
名词oneida:

1. a member of the Iroquoian people formerly living east of Lake Ontario

从Dict.CN上查到的，所以Oneida可以理解成类似Chinese什么的吧……

C除了简洁，意思是说：Oneida是唯一一个支持的

D是说，在五个支持的联盟里，Oneida是唯一一个不支持的

himba

the Oneida 单复数都可以表示，但是D 选项里后面说 out of the

five nations 说明这里the Oneida 指的是 nation，所以ones 应该改成

one，were应该改成was

另外the five nations of Iroquios League 与 the five-nation

Iroquios league 并不等价

再另外，，，我显示器是不是有问题，，，为什么看字有重影，，， - -？
