The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is:
**My collection of stamps is extensive.**
In this case, "collection" is the singular subject, so it correctly takes the singular verb "is."
The other sentences have errors in subject-verb agreement:
1. "The island visited by the travelers are warm." (Should be "is" since "island" is singular.)
2. "The books at the library is very helpful." (Should be "are" since "books" is plural.)
3. "The cattle in the field is huge!" (Should be "are" since "cattle" is plural.)
**My collection of stamps is extensive.**
In this case, "collection" is the singular subject, so it correctly takes the singular verb "is."
