Let us dissect each sentence to tell which of these does not follow the rules for subject-verb agreement.
A.) The subject is 'each of the students' while the verb is 'is'. More particularly, the verb refers to 'each' which is singular. So, this is correct.
B.) The subject is 'student' while the verb is 'were'. The word 'were' is the paste tense of are which is used for a plural subject. But since student is singular, then the verb should have been 'was'. So, this is incorrect.
C.) The subject is 'my dog and my cat' which pertains to two nouns, thus it is plural. It agrees with its plural verb 'are'.
D.) The subject is 'Tom' while the verb is 'does'. Both are intended for singular use. So, this is correct.
Therefore, the answer to this is letter B.

Explanation:
The narrator of the short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" is a mentally ill woman - or, at least, that seems to be what her husband thinks and convinces her of. Trapped in her life, in her house, she is advised to get as much rest as possible and to control her vivid and wild imagination. She ends up developing a fixation for the wallpaper on the walls, in which she sees a woman that is a representation of herself, of her feelings and desperation. In the excerpt, she describes how the woman tries to climb out of the pattern, just to be strangled and suffocated. She is, in reality, describing the way she feels when she tries to be herself but is suffocated by others, their expectations and impositions. Just like the woman she sees, she wants to break free.
