The subject agrees with the verb in the sentence: "A band of coyotes roam the forest next to the lake, occasionally coming to the shore for a drink."
To determine which sentence has subject and verb agreement, we need to identify the subject and the verb in each sentence and ensure that they match in number.
In the first sentence, the subject is "flock of sheep" and the verb is "scurry." Both the subject and the verb are in agreement because they are both in the plural form.
In the second sentence, the subject is "team of horses" and the verb is "runs." Here, the subject and verb do not agree because "team" is singular, while "runs" is in the plural form.
In the third sentence, the subject is "band of coyotes" and the verb is "roam." Again, the subject and verb agree because they are both in the plural form.
In the fourth sentence, the subject is "herd of elephants" and the verb is "move." The subject and verb agree because they are both in the plural form.
Therefore, the sentence where the subject agrees with the verb is: "The flock of sheep scurry down the path, nudged on by the border collies running beside them."
