1. You misspelled careful
and that word should have a comma after it, as well.

14. No, a comma would have created a run-on sentence
With missing punctuation one might at least assume the writer intended something that might separate two related independent clauses, like a dash or a semicolon, yet neglected to include it.

6. Nope, the word patrol is singular. Is reflects the subject, patrol.

15. Collective nouns...
even when singular in form, may take a plural verb. (This is actually standard in non-US English.)

8. Transport Is Arranged
Praise the grammar police, set me up with your niece
Walk to Baltimore, and keep the language off the street
Well I'm of several minds, I am the worst of my kind
I wanna cremate the crutch
I know you're my lady but phone calls could corrupt the morning
I heed the surgeon's warning -- pillars of eights
