Hi, I'd sat that the correct answer is B. A cannot be correct, because the simple subject would be "dinosaurs", whereas the complete subject is "large and small dinosaurs", they don't match. C is a similar case - simple subject is "detectives", whereas the complete subject would be "detectives Homer Fry and Janine Small:. In D - simple subject is "crocodiles", whereas the complete subject is "crocodiles, quiet as logs". That leaves us with only one solution - "Cory" is both a simple and a complete subject.

Answer:

The incorrect subject-verb agreement is highlighted below:

Jenna's favorite hiking trail wind from the base of Mt Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.

Explanation:

The verb that refers to a certain subject must agree with that subject. In other words, the verb must be properly conjugated according to the kind of subject we have. In this case, the main word of the subject is "trail", which is a third-person singular subject. However, the verb following it is "wind", which is not in its third-person singular form. To correct it, we must add -s to the ending of the verb:

Jenna's favorite hiking trail winds from the base of Mt Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
