Solution :

1) The given sentence is absolutely correct. 

🔹Tip - If the subject used after 'none but' is singular,  it takes singular verb and  if the subject is plural then it will take plural verb

2)  'Many a' takes 
singular subject and singular verb. 

3)
add 'allowed' after 'has'

🔹Note - In a compound sentence both auxiliary verbs and prinicipal verbs should be mentioned separately if they differ in number, form or voice. In such cases one verb can't act for both the clauses.

4) 'did she work' instead of 'she worked'
🔹Note - When a sentence is is introduced by an adverb, the inverted form of the verb is used in this case.

5) 'will she' instead of 'she will'

6) was instead of were.
🔹Note - when two subjects are connected by as well as / like /unlike /besides/ and not / together with etc, verb agrees with the first subject.

7) no error
🔹Tip - ' more than one ' takes singular noun and singular verb .

8) no error
'More.. than one' takes plural verb. 

9) have in place of has
🔸Handy tip -  one third ✔️
One thirds ❌

But if it's more than one in the numerator like two, three etc then 
           Two third  ❌      Two thirds✔️
           Three fourth ❌    three fourths✔️ 

If it's followed by plural countable noun then plural verb is used and when its followed by singular countable noun or uncountable noun then singular verb is used.

For example
Two thirds of the book is easy to understand .✔️
Two thirds of the book has been sold. ❌
Two thirds of the books have been sold. ✔️

10) 'was' intstead of 'were'
11)no error
12) 'write' in place of wrote

13) 'helped' in place of help
🔹Note - Would rather/had rather is followed by a clause in subjunctive mood. So v2 will be used.

💯Understand subjunctive mood of a verb

14) The sentence is absolutely correct.Refer to the explanation of question 13th. 

15) omit 'to' 
🔹Note - 'Had better' is used to give advice or to tell people what to do.The meaning is present or future not past. Always use 'had' before better not have.With had better, we use bare infinitive. 

16) No error

17 ) The sentence is absolutely correct. 
🔹Note - Help, bid, let, make are causative verbs because they cause something else to happen. When they are used in active voice, they (except let) are followed by bare intinitive (v1). But when they are used in passive voice  they are followed by infinitive (to +v1). 
Example - I made my friend solve the puzzle. ✔️
My friend was made to solve the puzzle. ✔️

18) No error
🔹Note - Here the word better is the conditional of the word 'to better' which means to improve or to do better than someone else. 

19) When negative ideas are introduced in a noun clause with the  verbs ( Imagine, think, believe, suppose)   in principal clause, it is advisable to make principal clause in negative. 

I think she will not pass the examination. (not preferable) 
I don't think she will pass the examination. (more correct) ✔️
Note - This rule doesn't apply to 'hope'.
