Explanation:

• Subjects and verbs must always agree in number. This is known as Subject-verb agreement.
• There are some basic rules of Subject-verb agreement which decides whether a noun or pronoun will take singular or plural verb. If the subject is considered as singular, then it will take singular verb while if the subject is considered as plural, it will take plural verb.
• In the 1st sentence, " A baboon troop" denotes singular noun, so it will take singular verb.
• In the 2nd sentence, "dominant males" denotes plural noun, so the verb will be plural.
• In the 3rd sentence, "females" is a plural noun, so the article used before it will be "the", not "a".
• In the 4th sentence, "central core" denotes singular noun, so the demonstrative adjective will be "this", not "these".
