Page "Who (pronoun)" Paragraph 15
from
Wikipedia
Which, who, and what as interrogatives can be either singular or plural.
( Examples: Which is the highest hill?
Which are the highest hills?
Who was born in 1920?
Who were king and queen in 1920 ?).
But who and what often take a singular verb regardless of any supposed number ; the questions Who wants some cake?
and What's in the bag?
do not presuppose anything about number in possible responses: I want some cake, or All of us want some ; and A rabbit is in the bag, or Five coins and a bus ticket.
