Q1. I beg to(A)/ forward myself as a candidate(B)/ for this post.(C)/ no error. (Find error)
B
The phrase "forward myself as a candidate" uses the reflexive myself incorrectly as the object. The correct object is "my application," so the sentence should be: "I beg to forward my application as a candidate for this post."
Use my/myself correctly: use "myself" only for emphasis; otherwise use a possessive like "my" before a noun.
I beg to forward my application as a candidate for this post.

There should be a comma after the introductory phrase "Had they not helped him with money" before the main clause.
Use a comma after an introductory conditional clause.

Q4. A quarrel arose between the five members (A)/ and for a time it appeared as if the party (B)/ had been heading for a split (D)/ No error(D) (Find error)
A. A quarrel arose among the five members.
The word between is for two things. Among is for three or more items, like five members.
Use among for more than two; use between for two.
There was harmony among the team.
Q5. We have to (A)/ just to put our signature on the form (B)/ and submit it (C)/ No error(D) (Find error)
just to put our signature on the form
After "have to," we use the base form of the verb, not "to" + verb. So it should be "have to put" instead of "have to just to put."
Use "have to" + base verb (put, do, write), not "have to to ...".

Q6. He is well known for both (A)/ his kindness as well as (B)/ his understanding.(C)/ No error(D) (Find error)
for both his kindness and his understanding.
The phrase after 'for both' must be parallel. Use 'and' to join two noun phrases: 'his kindness and his understanding'.
Use parallel structure after 'for both ... and ...'.
She is praised for both his kindness and his understanding.
