The correct answer is sentence 2 and sentence 4.

Indeed, an easy way to find out if there is a subject-verb agreement is to replace the subject with a personal pronoun or a proper noun. In this manner:

"They (the students + the faculty advisor) don't have much experience, but they are a smart, capable, argumentative group!"

"Only Susan/Peter/He/she is able to practice on Thursdays or Fridays, which can be inconvenient."
