    B C & D Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C D & E Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    A – the subject police is always plural and thus we need to use “have” and not “has”. D – the correct word here is “him” or “her” and not “them” as “my mentor and boss” refers to a single person.
