Mere is an adjective which means only, but dear in your signature you need to insert Only one because you need a determiner here not an adjective.....and mere can never be followed or preceded by one, it is sole characteristic of ONLY.
Best of Luck.
thanx sir yes vocabulary is my weakness
but thanx again surely i would search out for MERE!

Being verbose (and trying to use Gulabi English = the one which shows the vocabulary bank) in English papers can cost you your merit if not your CSS Dream! We (the people of the subcontinent in general) need to appreciate that vocabulary may determine our command over this language but simplicity has it's own beauty
I would suggest to write only simple, plain and error-free English.
Throughout my 3 Attempts and 12x3 papers i never used the words: condoned, apposite, betoken
because we have simpler and much widely used and understood alternatives for them
Simplicity, Flow, Relevance, and Uniqueness of Ideas may however fetch you good marks
