There is no ownership stated in the clue, so none should be implied. The clue correctly should’ve resulted in ‘C’. It wouldn’t have been hard to put a sensible word starting with T before ‘chew’.

So your enclosing ‘of’ within square brackets was most helpful.

This puzzle had some great anagrams. As a solver I don’t mind the removal of disjoint letters (11A), so long as tends means ‘t,e,n,d,s’ and not a synonym for “tends”.

12A: Didn’t get the point about speed rate. Isn’t speed by itself the rate of motion, and mph the unit of speed?
