(a) As I have worked hard,/ (b) I am confident to pass/ (c) with flying colours ./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (b). 'Confident' is followed by 'of + gerund', not 'to + infinitive'. Thus, it should be 'confident of passing'.
(a) After the teacher had told the boys/ (b) how to pronounce the word/ (c) all of them in one voice repeated the word again ./ (d) No error.
(c) Remove 'again'. 'Repeat' should not be followed by 'again' because this will make the sentence superfluous.
(a) After the teacher had told the boys/ (b) how to pronounce the word/ (c) all of them in one voice repeated the word again ./ (d) No error.
'Repeated' means 'to say again', therefore the use of 'again' with 'repeated' is superfluous.

(c) Change 'sell' to 'sold'. comes after 'it is time + subject'.
(a) Have the letter/ (b) send/ (c) by someone who is trustworthy./ (d) No error.

(a) I declined the invitation/ (b) not because I did not want to go,/ (c) but because I have no time./ (d) No error.
(c) Change 'have' to 'had'. The sentence is in past.
(a) One must avail of/ (b) every opportunity/ (c) that comes in life./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (a). 'Avail' is a reflexive verb, it requires a reflexive pronoun (oneself) after it. So it should be 'One must avail oneself of'.
(a) The lights went out/ (b) while we/ (c) took the examination./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (c). The action was ongoing, so 'past continuous' should be used. 'while we were taking the examination'.
(a) Perhaps you do not know/ (b) I am having a car and a jeep/ (c) besides a big house in a good locality./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (b). 'Have' (indicating possession) is not used in continuous form. It should be 'I have'.
(a) The company is not doing well./ (b) Isn't it time you/ (c) sell off your shares in it ?/ (d) No error.
'It is time' / 'It is high time' is followed by 'Past Subjunctive' (Subject + V2). Therefore, 'sold' should be used instead of 'sell'.

(a) A few selfish leaders/ (b) are bent to harm/ (c) the very foundation of democracy./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (b). The idiom is 'bent on doing something', so 'bent on harming' should be used.
(a) Walking along the/ (b) bank of the river/ (c) the road began to rise./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (a). 'Walking along' is a dangling participle here. Correct sentence: 'While I was walking along the bank of the river, the road began to rise.'
(a) The dinosaurs could not/ (b) adapt to the/ (c) changing environment./ (d) No error.
(b) Add 'themselves' after 'adapt'.
(a) We must get this letter/ (b) send/ (c) as soon as possible./ (d) No error.
The structure of 'get' when used as a causative verb is 'get + object + V3'. Therefore, 'sent' should be used instead of 'send'.
(a) As I was feeling sleepy/ (b) I asked for/ (c) a steamed cup of tea./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (c). 'steaming' (releasing steam) is more appropriate than 'steamed' (boiled).
(a) All the candidates/ (b) will give/ (c) a test on Friday./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (b). Candidates 'take' a test. It should be 'will take a test'.
(a) The lady made the/ (b) little boy to wash/ (c) all the clothes./ (d) No error.
When 'make' is used in the active voice, it is followed by a bare infinitive (verb without 'to'). Therefore, 'wash' should be used instead of 'to wash'.
(a) He caught the boy/ (b) steal/ (c) the parcel./ (d) No error.
(b) Change 'steal' to 'stealing'.
(a) My father does not mind/ (b) to be disturbed/ (c) while he is reading the newspaper./ (d) No error.
The error is in part (b). 'Mind' is followed by a gerund (being). So 'being disturbed' is correct.
(a) The dinosaurs could not/ (b) adapt to the/ (c) changing environment./ (d) No error.
The sentence is grammatically correct; there is no error.
