<p>The common cold is (one of our most) indiscriminate diseases; it makes no distinction between you and me, millionares and paupers, or athletes and couch potatoes. </p>
<p>a. one of our most.
e. no error.</p>
<p>I think the answer is A, and that it should be replaed with "one of the most".</p>
<p>Why can you not use "our"?</p>
<p>Yes, I agree with you. I’d go with A with the same reasoning.</p>
<p>do you know why you can’t use “our”?</p>
<p>Not sure. ‘Our’ just doesn’t feel right. With ‘The’, it is more generalized and gives a better feel.</p>
<p>Is A the correct answer?</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the answer is but choice “a” does not seem to be grammatically incorrect, except for being strangely worded. Where’s this question from? I believe questions like these would never come up on real SATs.</p>
<p>this was from a Real SAT test from examdude.com from the 2005 test.
Problem is that there are no answers lol.</p>
<p>and btw I think it is grammatically incorect for the reason that the antecedent of “our” does not refer to a specific group?</p>
<p>I am pretty sure it is simply an idiom usage error.</p>
<p>Oh and isn’t the ‘millionare’ supposed to be ‘millionaire’?</p>
<p>yeah it should be millionaire, but its a grammar problem so it doesnt matter</p>
<p>no its no an idiom problem, because you can say:
As members of GreenPeace international, one of our worst fears is global warming.</p>
<p>Our refers to the possessive case. It isn’t our diseases? IDK, maybe.</p>

The test you refer to is actually the second test of the CB’s old SAT online course. Examdude users are lucky to have it for free. 
I’ve just looked up the answer and the answer is E.
Turns out to be one of those catchy problems eh.
btw it says “millionaires” in the original question.</p>
<p>oh wow interesting.</p>
<p>Do you happen to have saved the tests from the CB online course? If you did, can I have them? =D</p>
