Grammar

which and plural

I read the following sentence a while ago

'Which of these celebrities IS smarter than a Fifth Grader'

Now, I'm pretty certain that more than one is smarter, so should it be 'are' instead of 'is'?

Thanks

Anonymous I read the following sentence a while ago 'Which of these celebrities IS smarter than a Fifth Grader' Now, I'm pretty certain that more than one is smarter, so should it be 'are' instead of 'is'? Thanks I would generally use 'are', but it would depend on the group of celebrities .
