(A) He is a coward man/(B) as he is not able to face/(C) the ups and downs of life manfully./(D) No error.
'Coward' is a noun referring to a person. Writing 'coward man' is superfluous. It should be 'He is a coward' or 'He is a cowardly man'.
You must mend your ways/ lest you/ should/ not fall in any trap./ No error.
'Lest' is a negative word, so 'not' is not used in a 'lest' clause.
Do you have sufficient/ enough/ money to buy/ this dress ?/ No error.
'Sufficient' and 'enough' are not used together as they mean the same thing.
(A) We will organize a blood donation camp (B) at 8 a.m. (C) tomorrow morning. (D) No error.
'a.m.' means 'morning', so using 'morning' with it is superfluous.
Shyam Yadav, being a philanthropist/ and altruist,/ he is liked by all the people of his village./ No error.
The use of 'he' is superfluous here as 'Shyam Yadav' is already the subject.

(A) He is /(B) more wiser/(C) than all his friends./(D) No error.
'Wiser' is already a comparative degree. Using 'more' is redundant.

'Suppose' and 'if' both express supposition, so they should not be used together.

'Return' means 'to come back', so 'back' is redundant.
(A) Despite of being a meritorious student/(B) he failed to prove/(C) his mettle./(D) No error.
'Despite' is never followed by 'of'. The correct usage is either 'In spite of' or simply 'Despite'.

'Retreat' means 'to go back', so 'back' is redundant.

(A) You must mend your ways/(B) lest you should/(C) not fall in any trap./(D) No error.
'Lest' is a negative word (meaning 'for fear that'). It is never used with 'not'.
He is / more wiser/ than all his/ friends./ No error.
'Wiser' is already a comparative degree, so 'more' is incorrect.
(A) A cool light breeze was blowing (B) and it soon put the child (C) to sleep. (D) No error.
'Breeze' means a light, gentle wind, so 'light' is superfluous here.
(A) Do you have sufficient (B) enough money to buy (C) this dress? (D) No error.
'Sufficient' and 'enough' mean the same thing; using both together is incorrect.
(A) I didn't mean to insult you/(B) but on the contrary/(C) I had come here to congratulate you./(D) No error.
The usage of 'but' with 'on the contrary' is redundant. 'On the contrary' itself implies contrast, making 'but' superfluous.

'That' is used after 'The thing', not 'what'.
She requested the senior executive/ if he could repeat the data/ as she was/ unable to note them down./ No error.
'Repeat' means 'to say again', so using 'repeat' is fine, but contextually it may be considered superfluous if it implies saying it 'again' when the context didn't require repetition. However, based on the provided answer key, 38 is (B).
(A) When I was going to market, (B) I suddenly came across (C) my childhood friend (D) No error.
'Come across' means to find or meet by chance (suddenly), so using 'suddenly' is superfluous.

'At' is not used after 'reach'.
Niharika, my cousin sister/ will contest the/ next/ Lok Sabha election./ No error.
