He is such a man as liked by everyone
Reason: such and some are used as adjectives they are followed by the conjuction as and not by " who","which",and "when".

And what tasleem said that is a seperate rule
6.He is such a man as is liked by everyone. (Such is always followed by "AS")
SUCH is not always followed by AS. SUCH AS is a different story.

And that such as has a rule and that is we use " such as" with these words (define,treat,,mention,depict,portray,represent,re gard)
And these verbs dont take "as"after them...(think,consider,term,call,name).

3.I noticed Akbar carrying a bag in his hand. (the verb to be is not used) what do you mean by verb to be is not used?
4.Having entered his house, I shut the door at once. (I think it should be like that, because I (or someone else was the doer) and if we keep it in passive as in above, the meaning is changed.)
there is a difference between you shutting the door and someone else shutting the door.
uopn entering his house, the door was shut at once.

6.He is such a man as is liked by everyone. (Such is always followed by "AS")
SUCH is not always followed by AS. SUCH AS is a different story.
8.He has visited as many historical places as one has visited or can visit. one could have visited. here we are hoping about a possibility.

in the first sentence, by mistake i have written the adjective "intelligent" instead of "intelligence" I think i have rightly corrected it: "A good reader must be hardworking, and must possess intelligence."

3.I noticed Akbar carrying a bag in his hand. I think it is correct too
Reference:( http://books.google.com.pk/books?id=...ething&f=false) Or http://forum.wordreference.com/showthread.php?t=136913

for the sentence 4 ."Having entered his house, I shut the door at once."

Reference is " High School Grammar and Composition by Wren and Martin, subject: "Errors in the use of participles", Point No. 270, Page No.96.

For the sentence 8, see the recent paper of CE-2012 in which there is a sentence for correction : "Pakistan has and will support the Kashmiris." A number of teachers including Sir Muzafar Bukhari have corrected it as "Pakistan has supported, and will support the Kashmiris"

Still I am not upto that level to claim to be 100% accurate,so please Tasleem make me correct where i am wrong. Regards
