Have or has
More than one girl of this batch have taken the interview for one of the most coveted and prestigious government jobs.
I saw this sentence on an online test. According to the test the use of 'have' in the sentence is incorrect. I don't see the reason. Will anybody, please, explain it to me?
Secondly, why 'more then one girl' why not 'girls'?

"more than one ..." is always treated as singular. It may or may not make sense, but that's the rule.
