Good one Hi mates, IMO B"and" makes two singular subjects one plurar subject, therefore "are" is needed. C out: sounds wordy E out: at the end of the sentence, "and" is needed because the sentence is stating qualities of both laws OA and Source? Cheers

I believe the answer is A on this one. Going against the tide...
There is a X and a Y that are Z.
The first "and" joins the two sentences each referred to singular:
There is a X.
There is a Y.
Second part after the that is:
X and Y(referred collectively) are each valid.

I am also going with A .........
"and" unites two singular subject to form plural....but in the sentence The doctorine is singular, so we require " is "

though one..go with A
there is a federal law and (there is) a provincial law that are
i think B would be ok if it said:
there are federal laws and provincial laws that are....
but then you cant use "each"
