Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
The phrase "one of" is always followed by a superlative adjective with the definite article "the" and a plural noun.
The structure should be: one of + the + superlative adjective + plural noun.
Therefore, "one of a wisest man" contains two errors: "a" should be replaced by "the", and "man" should be replaced by "men".
The correct sentence should be: "King Solomon of Israel is said to be one of the wisest men who ruled the earth."
