Solution

The sentence with correct subject-verb agreement is: "All My Pretty Ones, a book by Anne Sexton, is an excellent example of confessional poetry."

Here's why:

  1. "House Hunters are my mother’s favorite show on HGTV." - Incorrect. Even though "House Hunters" sounds plural, it is a singular entity (a show), so the verb should be "is" not "are".

  2. "Rihanna’s “Wild Thoughts” are my favorite song to start my workout." - Incorrect. "Wild Thoughts" is a singular entity (a song), so the verb should be "is" not "are".

  3. "All My Pretty Ones, a book by Anne Sexton, is an excellent example of confessional poetry." - Correct. "All My Pretty Ones" is a singular entity (a book), so the verb "is" is correct.

  4. "American Pickers have inspired my grandfather to learn more about vintage motorcycles." - Incorrect. "American Pickers" is a singular entity (a show), so the verb should be "has" not "have".
