The sentences with the infinitives correctly underlined are:

  1. We’ve always wanted to jump from a plane.
  2. She wanted to buy the dress and to give it to me tonight.
  3. The players on the soccer team wanted to win.

The other sentences do not contain infinitives, or they do not have the infinitives correctly identified. Specifically, "Selling the car to pay for our daughter’s education is our only option." uses "to pay" as a gerund phrase, and "Although the issue was presented to the board, members have not yet voted on it." does not contain any infinitives.
