    C II-V Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D II-III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E IV-III Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Here, two things have been mentioned, campaigning in poetry and governing in prose. Hence, their, (because more than one) will be used. In the second sentence, the debate needs to be either concluded or resolved. Hence, resolved will be used. Politicians agree on the wisdom in the quip that they campaign in poetry and govern in prose but disagree on their relative importance. This echoes a debate in leadership between generalists and specialists that will never be resolved because any healthy organisation needs both.
