The excuse he gave for being late seems legitimate. Matches.

Answer 3

Here come your teachers.

Tricia, as well as all her colleagues, is being trained on new equipment.

(For #2, because the "as well..." is within commas, the "are" changes to "is".)

(If the sentence was, "Tricia and her colleagues..." where there are no commas present, then the "are" is appropriate.)

...

That box of two dozen eggs needs to be put in the refrigerator.

(Subject here is "box", not "eggs".)

The excuse he gave for being late seems legitimate.

(This sentence seems fine to me - so this is the sentence that illustrates subject-verb agreement.)

(FYI: It could also be, "The excuse he gave for being late seemed legitimate.")
