To determine which sentence has a subject that agrees with the verb, we need to look for subject-verb agreement. In English grammar, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or plural).
Let's analyze each sentence in regards to subject-verb agreement:
A. The subject is "The team of horses," which is singular. The verb is "runs," which also agrees in number with the subject. Therefore, the subject and verb agree.
B. The subject is "A band of coyotes," which is singular. The verb is "roam," which is plural. This sentence does not have subject-verb agreement.
C. The subject is "A herd of elephants," which is singular. The verb is "move," which also agrees in number with the subject. Therefore, the subject and verb agree.
D. The subject is "The flock of sheep," which is singular. The verb is "scurry," which also agrees in number with the subject. Therefore, the subject and verb agree.
Based on this analysis, option A is the correct choice. The subject "The team of horses" agrees with the verb "runs" in number.
