FWIW: I had to look this up on the Web myself and it seems that the
English grammar is in this case exactly the opposite as the German:
While Germans would use the German version of "a variety of attack
barriers /makes/...", Americans seem to use a plural verb in this
context: "a variety of attack barriers make...". I found this

Native speakers, please correct me if this is incorrect.
Kind regards,

Summary: Ready
Comments: I have some grammar questions which should be handled by
the RFC Editor in 3.1 page 8:
- can to trick -> can trick
- a variety of ... which make mouting -> makes? mounting
^ ^
(if someone finds the answer for the grammar point in the web,
can (s)he give a pointer? I've based my comment on French,
perhaps English is different. BTW "a large number of" is plural
without question).
- both on-link and off-link -> either on-link or off-link?
