Which word is misused in this sentence? Napoleon Bonaparte was some of the most famous generals in European history.

The word "some" is misused in the sentence because it does not appropriately describe Napoleon Bonaparte in the context provided. When referring to an individual, such as Napoleon, it is more fitting to use "one of" or "among the" rather than "some of." The phrase "some of the most famous generals" implies a plural subject, which contradicts the singular nature of "Napoleon Bonaparte." Therefore, the correct phrasing would clarify that he is recognized as a singular figure within a broader category, emphasizing his individual notoriety rather than implying he belongs to a group of multiple entities.
