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.

Answer-</h3>
Tense of the verb tells <u>when(</u><u>time </u><u>of </u><u>an </u><u>action</u><u>)</u> an action is done. There are three tenses of the verbs: <u>past</u> tense, <u>present</u> tense, and the <u>future</u> tense. Past tense tells about actions that happened in <u>the </u>past. <u>“</u><u>W</u><u>a</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>w</u><u>e</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> are added <u>before </u><u>the </u><u>main </u><u>verbs</u> to change it in past tense. Present tense tells about actions that are <u>currently</u><u> </u><u>happening in the </u><u>present</u>(did some changes to the question). We add <u>“</u><u>i</u><u>s</u><u>”</u> or <u>“</u><u>a</u><u>r</u><u>e</u><u>”</u> to change the verb into present tense. Future tense tells about actions that <u>will </u><u>happen</u><u> </u><u>in </u><u>the </u><u>future</u>. Adding <u>“</u><u>will”</u> or <u>“</u><u>s</u><u>h</u><u>a</u><u>l</u><u>l</u><u>”</u> to the verb will change it in future tense.
