In the fine print at the end of the document lies the clauses that make us liable for any expenses that result from civil unrest.

A. lies the clauses that make us liable for any expenses that
B. lies the clauses that make us liable for any expenses which
C. lies the clause that make us liable for any expenses that
D. lie the clauses that makes us liable for any expenses which
E. lie the clauses that make us liable for any expenses that

[spoiler]OA: E. "clauses is the subject. i missed that part..." tricky.[/spoiler][/u]

Hmmm....I am caught between C and E...
C is singular and E is plural. Can't see why C is wrong.

It was between D and E for me. I chose E.

Can anyone use this example to explain the great That/Which quandary? It stuns me everytime.
