Some grammar questions

Dear fellows,
I need the answer and a short grammatical explanation for the following multipl-choice questions.
The question is to find a grammar or usage error.

1. There remain many reasons for the enmity exists between the two neighboring countries.
2. Because of the size and weight of the stones that constitute Stonehenge, some people are convinced that it was erected by extra terrestrial beings.
3. The conditions of art are nothing rather a particular way of interpreting reality.
4. Ted’s angry outburst was so annoying that it resulted in our guests’ packing up and leaving this morning.

The choices for all of the questions above are:

A) 1st underlined expression
B) 2nd underlined expression
C) 3rd underlined expression
D) No Error

My guess is 1.B 2.D 3.B 4.D

The rules don't have names. You have already explained them yourself.
