1. Incorrect.
The subject, "number," is singular, so the verb is "is."
Note that "spurs" can't be the subject because it's in a prepositional phrase (of spurs.)

2. Correct.

3. Correct.

4. Incorrect.
This is tricky -- but in this construction, what you mean is: ". . . less agreeable than she is."
