The potential for small numbers of counterfeit bills to be passed in widely dispersed areas presents a new law-enforcement challenge that needs to be met. No, it's not.

Example I received several offers on repairing my roof. Several plural offers plural  ” Anon, I don't think you quite understand the third person singular and third person plural. The shelter offers . . . is singular. The shelters offer . . . is plural (In your example, offers is a plural noun. The only verb in the sentence is "received" with the subject "I.")
