Answer 1

1- Didn't you set a new record in the last Olympic games?
(como é uma frase no passado, não tem mt sentido usar o "don't")

2-Barry was buying a camcorder when I saw him at the mall yesterday.
(a frase original seria o equivalente à "Barry comprou um camcorder quando eu vi ele no shopping ontem"... e, sim, tem outros jeitos de corrigir essa frase, mas eu escolhi esse, porque é bem simples e fácil de entender... seila)

3- My cousin Edward is the most generous person I know.
(nesse caso não é correto usar o "more", e sim o "most" 

4- If Laura had the time, she would feed the puppies for us.
(had faz mais sentido nesse caso, pois está no passado.... e colocar o "would feed' também faz mais sentido)
