Grammar
a great variety of
It is clear from the passage that, among writers of nonfiction, there is a great variety of aim one of which is the desire to please.
Taken from a nationwide exam in Turkey.
Do you think there is anything wrong with this sentence? I do. A comma is needed after the word "aim" and I have doubts about the use of "one of which" to refer to a singular countable noun "aim". What do you think? Can the expression "a great variety of" be used with singular countable nouns?

Hi,
Should it be "wide variation in aims" since the noun "aim" is a countable noun?
