Explanation:
In this scene there is a pleasant and joking atmosphere between Romeo, Mercutio and Benvolio.
They are joking and Romeo accuses Mercutio that he is only good to joke, and he tells him that for that joke he is going to bite him in the ear (since he was comparing him to a goose).
Even Mercutio acknowledges that joking is better than being bad for love. Let's see this quote:

Answer:
The answer is B.
Explanation:
Subject-verb agreement means that subject and verb must agree in number. So, if the subject is in singular, the verb must also be in singular; if the subject is in plural, then the verb must also be in plural.
Let`s analyze these sentences (extracting subjects and verbs)
A. someone arrive - someone is singular (3rd person), so we need <em>-s</em> as a suffix ⇒ arrives
B. each of the students plans - plans refers to each which is singular
C. Judging people based on appearance are - judging is gerund which functions as a noun in singular, so the verb should have been is
D. Nick and Nora walks - these two people represents one subject as they are connected with conjunction and. If the conjunction was or, then Nick/Nora would be separate subjects and we could use the verb in the singular, which is not the case in the given sentence.
