The visiting team were putting on their uniforms.
are you sure
Yes, I am sure. In the sentence "The visiting team were putting on their uniforms," the plural collective noun is "team." Even though "team" is usually singular, in this sentence it is being used as a collective noun to refer to multiple individuals within the team. This is evident from the use of the plural verb "were" and the possessive pronoun "their" to indicate that each individual on the team was putting on their own uniform.

The sentence that displays correct subject-verb agreement is: "The herd is in the north pasture."

Subject-verb agreement means that the verb used should match the number (singular or plural) of the subject. In this case, the subject is "herd," which is singular. Therefore, the verb "is" (singular) correctly matches the subject "herd."
