Answer:
The error in subject-verb agreement is underlined below:
<u>Jenny's favorite hiking trail </u><u>wind</u> from the base of Mt. Diablo up to the summit which offers breathtaking views of the surrounding area.
Explanation:
Although the sentence above has quite a long subject - "Jenny's favorite hiking trail" - we can easily pinpoint which word is the most important in it: "trail". All the while, the sentence is talking about a trail. Therefore, the verb that follows the subject needs to agree with "trail", which is a third-person singular word.
That is precisely where we have an error. The verb "wind" is not in its singular form. In the present tense, the singular form of verbs ends in -s, -es, or -ies for the third person. In the case of "wind", it should be "winds". Therefore, the correct agreement would be:
- Jenny's favorite hiking trail winds from the base . . .
The rest of the sentence is alright.

The subject matter is in the poem's title. Their is a resentful mood although it's not plainly stated that the author resented her mother. Her mother's house represents the attitude of her mother; the walls stood at attention, the air knew to hold its breath, the polished floor defied heel marks... The personification is plain in these opening observations and, given the subject matter, it seems plain that these are reflections of the author's mother. It would seem that her mother is very commanding, superior, serious. Two lines I think are very telling:
"crinkled in discomfort in my mother's house"
It's not been named a childhood home, rather she's in (imagine italics) Her Mother's House
I don't see a poem, but I can tell you how to determine the meter of a poem.
The meter of a poem is determined by the last word in a line.
For example,
Roses are red, A
Violets are blue, B
sugar is sweet, C
And so are you. B
You rhymes with blue so so they are both blue.
