'Furniture' is an uncountable noun and always takes a singular verb. Therefore, 'were' should be replaced with 'was'.
The correlative conjunction pair is 'Scarcely... when', not 'Scarcely... than'. 'Than' is used with 'No sooner'. The correct sentence is 'Scarcely had I reached the station when the train left.'
After the auxiliary verb 'did', the main verb must be in its base form (first form). 'Went' is the past tense; the base form is 'go'. The correct sentence is 'He did not go'.
When a plural noun denotes a specific quantity, amount, or distance considered as a whole, it takes a singular verb. 'Ten miles' is treated as a single unit of distance, so 'is' should be used.
The adjective 'unique' is an absolute term meaning 'one of a kind'. It cannot be modified by 'more' or 'most'. The correct sentence should be 'She is a unique person'.
The phrase 'look forward to' is a phrasal verb that must be followed by a gerund (verb + -ing). The correct form is 'look forward to meeting you'.
The correct preposition to use with 'married' is 'to', not 'with'. The correct sentence is 'My cousin is married to a doctor.'
The word 'return' implies going back or giving back. Adding 'back' after 'return' is redundant. The correct phrase is simply 'return the book'.
The pronoun 'Each' is singular and requires a singular verb. Even though 'students' is plural, the subject is 'Each'. Therefore, 'are' should be replaced with 'is'.
The word 'Unless' implies a negative condition (meaning 'if not'). Using 'do not' with 'unless' creates a double negative. The correct sentence is 'Unless you work hard...'.
