He has visited only as many historical places as one can have visited. (Try to get the sense of the phrase, its not saying He has visited so many historical places that no one else can manage, its saying He has visited only as many historial places as anyone else ).

Hope I am rite.

You are also right but the examiner is asking to correct the sentence not to delete some words.
According to sentence...us ny kafi historical places visit ki jitni koi kr skta hy (present) ya ki (past)
Both present and past situations are there so you have to correct this sentence without deleting any portion.

I think that this is more suitable He has visited as many historic places as one can have or could visit.

It is a fact that I almost drowned makes me very careful about water safety whenever I go(for) swimming .(what do you say Friends?)

They succeeded hardly making any effort.(hardly is used in negative sense and using "without" along doesn't seem appropriate.
