1. By the end of the day, the MINISTERS had put their signatures ON the EDUCATION treaty.
(use leading adjectives instead of trailing "of" phrases where possible)
2. I met her last year at Christmas but I HAVE known her by sight since 2002 year.
(since => have)
3. Next morning Scott WOKE up at 6.30, got up and read a morning newspaper.
("and" => woke, got, read = equal parts, so all same tense and verb form)
4. By the end of the week, Frank had SPENT (or saved?) some HUNDREDS OF dollars on books.
5. When Henry ANSWERED my questions, I saw THAT he HAD told the truth.
(see, tell; telling happened first => past perfect tense)
6. He had not seen Molly for five years and he hardly RECOGNIZED her when she came into the room. (when => recognize and came happened concurrently and must be the same tense.)
Observation: Past perfect tense is giving you some trouble. It is used for the earlier of two past, completed events. Perhaps read up on it some more. It can be a little challenging. It is often used with "flag words" such as "before", "by that time", and "already".
