All of them look OK to me. However, if I HAD TO make some changes, I'd make the following. Isnt it true that sometimes they put the correct sentence in there? These might actually be the correct ones.
. You ought to have regarded him as your benefactor. 2. He has visited as many historical places as one has or can visit. 3. The hostel provides lodging and boarding to students. 4. My cousin-brother will come to meet me. 5. One must boast of his great qualities. 6. He is among those who always succeed. 7. The black vermin is an odious creature. 8. Let alone meat, even vegetables were not allowed there. 9. The criminal was sentenced to the gaol. 10. The firm was willing to forgo its usual commission. 11. This is the historical spot where he was shot dead. 12. I don't remember him giving me a present. 13. While passing the damaged house, a brick fell on my shoulder. 14. The idea of me flying is too silly to even contemplate
