Answers
Solutions:
1)(3)
2)(2)
3)(5)
4)(1)
5)(4)
6)(4) There is no such thing as ‘cousin brother/sister’ in the english dictionary. If you're talking about your uncle/aunt's son, you should call him only ‘cousin’.
7)(1) ‘Was’ should be replaced with ‘were’ as there can never be the subject of the verb. Always look for the subject after verb in the sentence beginning with ‘there’.
8)(3) ‘Was’ should be replaced with ‘were’ because the clause that begins with ‘as if’ should be put into the past simple tense, if preceding clause expresses a past action.
9)(3) ‘Are’ should be replaced with ‘is’ because when two subjects are joined by ‘as well as’, the verb agrees in number and person with first subject.
10)(5)
