SOLUTION 

1) The error is in part (b) of the sentence. 'The same'  is always followed by 'that'. In exams, problem is given by using words like “who/which” instead of “that”. 
'As'  is used in place of “that” when the verb is not given or not clear. See below example:
This is the same dress as mine.

2) The error is in part (c) of the sentence. It is incorrect to use 'therefore' with 'because' . It should be removed to make the sentence grammatically correct.

3) The error is in part (c) of the sentence. The use of 'did not' is incorrect. 'Until' means up to (the point in time or the event mentioned). It is a negative word; so, we should not use “not” with it. Similar is the case with “unless”.

4) The error is in part (c) of the sentence. Lest is followed by should and not would as given in the sentence.

5) The error is in part (b) of the sentence. If the second event occurs immediately after the first, we can express that idea using the below structures:

No sooner... than
Hardly... when
Scarcely ... when

With "hardly/scarcely", we always use past perfect tense. See below examples:

Hardly had shivani reached the station when the train came.✔️
Scarcely had Shivani reached the station when the train arrived.✔️
However, with "no sooner", we can use the verb "had" as well as "did". See below examples:

No sooner had he closed his eyes than he fell asleep.✔️
No sooner did I arrive at the station than the train came.✔️

6) The error is in part (a) of the sentence. When two singular nouns are joined by “and” but each one is preceded by “each” or “every”, the verb should be kept singular. So, it should be “has” instead of “have” in the above sentence.

7) The error is in part (b) of the sentence. If two singular nouns are joined by “and” and represent a single entity or emotion, the verb should be kept as singular. So, it should be “is” instead of “are” in part (b) of the sentence.

8) The error is in part (b) of the sentence
RULE - when two or more subjects are joined by  " as well as, like, unlike, besides, in addition to, and not , with, together with, along with, rather than, no less than, except, nothing but, the verb is used according to the first subject. 

9) The error is in part (b) of the sentence. If two nouns are joined by “not only…. but also”, “neither…. nor”, “either…. or”, the verb agrees with its adjacent noun. In the given sentence, the adjacent subject of the verb is “her parents” which is plural, so the verb should also be kept as plural. Hence, “was” should be replaced by “were”.

10) The error is in the part 2
Use which in place of who
RULE  - 'which'  is used in place of 'who' when we are referring to a choice between two or more than two things or persons. 
Refer to the rule no. 9
