Solution NM.C33 Robert Beezer
Theorem NMRRI tells us we can answer this question by simply row-reducing the matrix. Doing this we obtain, \begin{equation*} \begin{bmatrix} \leading{1} & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & \leading{1} & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & \leading{1} & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & \leading{1} \end{bmatrix} \end{equation*} Since the reduced row-echelon form of the matrix is the $4\times 4$ identity matrix $I_4$, we know that $B$ is nonsingular.
