A man holding a newspaper is eating a sandwhich on a bench. (The bench does not have the newspaper, as your original sentence could imply.)
There are two boats sailing on the lake. - That's fine.
One of your others ones - I can't see it now that I'm in the response screen - needs "is" or "are" - is sitting, or something like that. Take a look and see if you can find it.
