Dear, here are some corrections:

iii) I should not be surprised if he does not turn up tomorrow.
iv) Neither Farooq nor Akbar is going to the wedding lunch on Saturday.
v) I compared his essay with Mushtaq's and found both to be almost identical.

Advice on using 'Compare to' and 'Compare with'
Compare usually takes the preposition “to” when it refers to the activity of describing the resemblances between unlike things: e.g. He compared her to a summer day. Scientists sometimes compare the human brain to a computer.

It takes “with” when it refers to the act of examining two like things in order to discern their similarities or differences: e.g. The police compared the forged signature with the original.

The second sentence is correct:
