old question but will answer so this can be closed

three of these have issues with subject-verb agreement. for example, "The parents of the troublemaker was upset..." has this error. "Parents" is a plural subject, and therefore needs the plural verb "were" not "was.

Follow this logic w/ the other choices, isolating the main subject and verb to guide your choice.
