The correct sentence that uses subject-verb agreement is: "The cat carefully steps across the fence." To determine the correct answer, it is important to understand subject-verb agreement rules. In English grammar, the subject and verb in a sentence must agree in number (singular or plural).
In the first sentence, "clouds" is the subject, which is plural, but the verb "moves" is singular. The subject and verb do not agree in number, so this sentence is incorrect.
In the second sentence, "brother" is the subject, which is singular, but the verb "want" is plural. Again, the subject and verb do not agree, so this sentence is incorrect.
In the third sentence, "teachers" is the subject, which is plural, but the verb "gives" is singular. The subject and verb do not agree in number, so this sentence is also incorrect.
Finally, in the last sentence, "cat" is the subject, which is singular, and the verb "steps" is also singular. Both the subject and verb agree in number, making this sentence correct.
