Answers:
Exp: The sentence starts in the past tense (was); hence ‘could’ is the correct modal.
Exp: Only past tense should be used in story narration.
Exp: The tense of ‘arrive’ should be the past perfect (had arrived).
Exp: In hypothetical cases ‘were’ is used with ‘I’.
Exp: ‘Those’ is used for the past, but here we mean the present; hence ‘these’ is correct.
Exp: Only the gerund ‘coming’ is appropriate here.
Exp: We learn ‘from’; hence this is the correct preposition.
Exp: ‘Everyone’ is singular and so the singular verb ‘becomes’ is correct.
Exp: The article that goes with ‘lot of’ is ‘a’.
Exp: The participial adjective ‘given’ should be used here.
