EnglishFill in the Blanks
- Acosts
- Bcost
- Ccosted
- Dis costing
Explanation
Twelve dozen functions as a single quantity or unit, so it takes the singular verb costs. Cost would need a plural subject, costed is not used for prices, and is costing is progressive and unnatural for rates. The unit-as-singular rule makes costs correct.
