Check your text about constructions that take singular verbs.
Study these webpages and then rethink your answers. Some are correct; others are not.

ok, the first one I can see that it's right because there's more than one boy so it's (their) right?
No. Each is the subject of that sentence. Each is singular.
If you find the prepositional phrases first, it's easy to find the subject. Subjects and verbs and direct objects are never in prepositional phrases!
