We identified the obvious like you did. But the teacher said there will be 2 in each in sentence. That's what we can't find.
Those are all of the verbs in these sentences. Didn't your teacher say there would be one OR two in each sentence?
No. She said there would be either 1 verb and 1 action verb OR 2 action verbs.
The teacher is incorrect. Ms. Sue is correct.
