1. (I do not think there is any mistake)
4. Although he ran very fast, he did not win the race. (I erased 'but')
6. He gave me his books as well as his notes. (I agree with Naveed, as well)
8. He is kind hearted, therefore he is very popular. (No need of 'because')
9. My watch is superior to and more expensive than yours.
10. Neither the boy is fool nor naive; he is just simple. (I agree with Naveed also)
12. When you say so, I believe you. (explicit belief in someone's integrity)
14. The poor girl did nothing else but, weep.
15. I will not go until you come back. (no need of 'do not')
19. Lions are found in both Asia and Africa.
20. He likes novels which teach some moral. (erase 'such')
21. He is a man that no one likes.
23. I think of/take him as a silly fellow.
26.I fear I might fail.
28.Now that you have come, you will relieve me. (I also agree with Naveed)
29.This is why I do not help you. (I agree with Naveed)
30.I doubt his arrival. (This one is the only confusing in the whole exercise. Please tell me about the proper use of doubt.)

For all that I have missed - I agree with Naveed altogether. Corrections can be made in several ways. By bringing in these new answers, I do not mean to disagree with the corrections of brother Naveed. I am just trying to explore possiblities.

Regards,
Aap ka dulara

A variety of dishes confuses one.
