Should we add 'S' to the end of the verb after someone, anyone, no one, etc.? For example "someone explain this to me", "no one asks for it", "no one ask" etc.
Someone, no one, everyone, anyone, somebody, anybody, everybody, nobody, etc. are SINGULAR pronouns.
Therefore, we would use them with the singular verb forms: NO ONE likes to suffer. EVERYONE was sick yesterday, etc.

Straight A or straight A's? Why?
"Straight A's" is right because you're talking about more than one A. We pluralize single letters with 's.
We see this in the idioms "Dot your i's and cross your t's" and "Mind your p's and q's."

later/laters?
Both can be used INFORMALLY as a synonym for "goodbye":
Jo: See you tomorrow.
Me: Laters.
Mike: Later.
As an adverb, "later" is correct: I will do my homework later.
In formal English, "laters" is wrong.
Jo: See you tomorrow.
Me: Laters.
Mike: Later.
As an adverb, "later" is correct: I will do my homework later.
In formal English, "laters" is wrong.
all you can eat are the best or all you can eat is the best?
"An all-you-can-eat restaurant IS the best" or "All-you-can-eat restaurants ARE the best."

is it "Thanks God" or "Thank God"?
They can both be right.
"Thank God it's Friday!"
"Jo thanks God for everything that happens in her life."
Even "Thanks, God!" can be right.

So, regarding the Princeton Review question, whenever we are presented with a sentence ending with a subject pronoun, it is always helpful to insert an "imaginary verb" following the pronoun right? Thank you by the way. That was REALLY helpful! ♥
Correct. That's a good way of looking at it.
And you're welcome. ^_^

"there is a million of" or "there are"? for example, "there is a million of apples" or "there are"? thank you!
"A million OF (x)" is an informal expression that means "a lot of (x)." And it's almost always used with "them": There ARE a million of them.
If you use a specific noun (apples, trees, chairs, people, etc.), don't use "a million OF" with it. Use "many" instead: There ARE MANY apples. There ARE MANY people. And so forth.
If you don't mind being informal, then use "millionS OF (x)" instead: There ARE millions of apples on the farm. There ARE millions of people at Disneyland.

That's because in "was surprised," "surprised" is not a verb. It's an adjective.
