<p>The new system, which <a href="A">U</a> uses remote cameras
<a href="B">U</a> in the catching of <a href="C">U</a> speeding motorists,
<a href="D">U</a> may undermine the police department's authority.</p>

<p>7:
wit is singular by itself the but the subject of the sentence is the poem’s images and wit, which would make the verb plural. so i think i would pick a for that one.</p>
<p>21:
instead of in i think you would say “for”. just a hunch.</p>
<p>Hmm, thanks for replying. The thing is when a subject has both a singular entity and a plural entity, the verb has to agree with the subject nearest to it, which in this case is ‘wit’ (haha, sorry, but I just learned this in English!) So I’m confused…</p>
<p>And I see what you mean for #21. headdesk :P</p>
<p>ETA: Oh, crap! I just looked it up in my grammar book, and that rule only applies when the subjects are joined by or or nor… my bad… thx!</p>
