The <span> $U$ is the coordinate plane $\{(x_1,x_2,0,0)^T\}$. Consequently its <annihilator of a vector subspace> is $U^\circ=\operatorname{span}\{\varepsilon_3,\varepsilon_4\}$. The <dual map> is composition with $T$, so
$$
T'\varepsilon_3=\varepsilon_3,\qquad T'\varepsilon_4=0.
$$
It follows that
$$
\boxed{T'(U^\circ)=\operatorname{span}\{\varepsilon_3\}.}
$$
Equivalently, $T'(a\varepsilon_3+b\varepsilon_4)$ sends $x$ to $ax_3$.
