Apologies for the confusion. Yes, you're right. The sentence "The team of horses runs across the prairie, startling the sunbathing birds." is the correct sentence where the subject "team of horses" agrees with the verb "runs." Thank you for pointing out the mistake.
The sentence in which the subject agrees with the verb is: "The flock of sheep scurry down the path, nudged on by the border collies running beside them."
To determine which sentence has the subject that agrees with the verb, we need to identify the subject and the verb in each sentence and ensure that they match in number. Let's analyze each sentence:
1. The team of horses runs across the prairie, startling the sunbathing birds.
- The subject is "team of horses" and the verb is "runs". Here, the subject "team of horses" is singular, so the verb "runs" also agrees in number.
2. A band of coyotes roam the forest next to the lake, occasionally coming to the shore for a drink.
- The subject is "band of coyotes" and the verb is "roam". In this case, the subject "band of coyotes" is singular, but the verb "roam" is in the plural form. Therefore, the subject and verb do not agree.
3. A herd of elephants move slowly across the savanna, the youngest weaving between legs of their mothers.
- The subject is "herd of elephants" and the verb is "move". In this sentence, the subject "herd of elephants" is singular, but the verb "move" is in the plural form. Hence, the subject and verb do not agree.
4. The flock of sheep scurry down the path, nudged on by the border collies running beside them.
- The subject is "flock of sheep" and the verb is "scurry". In this sentence, the subject "flock of sheep" is singular, so the verb "scurry" agrees in number with the subject.
Therefore, the sentence that has the subject agreeing with the verb is: "The team of horses runs across the prairie, startling the sunbathing birds."
