[ buzzer ] >> sorry, but it's wrong. and he's not alone. a lot of kids would miss what's not right in this sentence. the principle here is subject-verb agreement. the subject of the sentence is not "spectators." it's "each." and "each" is singular. therefore, the verb needs to be singular, as well. so, the sentence should read, "each of the 5,000 spectators at the game was cheering wildly." tom clements is an s.a.t. tutor and author. he has an easy way to check your sentence -- read it without all the other words that get between the subject and the verb. >> so, in the sentence "each of the 5,000 spectators at the game were cheering wildly," which is a mistake, if you bracket off the prepositional phrase "of the 5,000 spectators at the game," then the sentence -- the subject and the verb -- immediately fall into place, and you can see what the problem is gonna be. >> so let's see if it w

and the idea is that if you remember your high school gramm grammar, it's a nonrestrictive clause. and even though with respect to official misconduct, it defines department heads to include other managerial employees. it does not restrict your hearing process. which should be reflected here and in the next chapter, chapter 3. with respect to the representation of these complaints. i have always felt very strongly, it's less clear in the current task force. when a citizen brings a complaint to the task force, the citizen has done his part. and from that point it's up to the task force to advice departments, city employees on the enforcement of the law. and if that means referring it somewhere else, the task force itself is the interested party at that point. it's not up to the complainant to turn this into a steeple chase or obstacle course. and block the complainant at every instance. because the entire city has interest in enforcement of that law. [buzzer] it's that operation with the interest with respect of the findings. you have qualifications here whether a person relied in g

we all know there are decisions that are made deep in that grammar requirement. >> here's a key partthe second circuit's decision. it says, because doma is an unprecedented breach of long-standing deference to federalism that singles out same-sex marriage as the only inconsistency, among many, in state law that requires a federal rule to achieve uniformity, the rationale premised on uniformity is not an exceedingly persuasive justification for doma. so when you look at that language, how does that affect the way the supreme court looks at this? >> i think it could affect it. >> that's where it's at. >> that's where the burden is coming from. when they talk about uniformity, the federal governments traditionally defer to state law with respect to marriage. here the federal government has not referred to state definitions of marriage. edy windsor was married for all state purposes, but when her partner died, her partner of her 4 years is treated as a legal stranger. >> in ten seconds, what could stop this? >> i don't think that there's much that's going to stop this. i think that the b
