Answer 2

Answer :

1) has

2) are

3) was

Explanation :

1) 'has' is being used as the subject is singular & it's being talked about one particular person who's both a good man & useful citizen .

2) Both of you means more than two, which is plural , therefore going by the rules of Subject - Verb agreement, 'are' is being used.

3) the Jury is a collective noun & is collectively discharged so 'was' is being used.

In case if Jury 'were' divided then plural verb is used , because the members of Jury aren't working together now for instance while when discharged, they're discharged altogether.
