ii. The narrator was an actor or The narrator is an actor

iii. The lady had much time to spare.

iv. The narrator could not recognize the lady immediately.​

Explanation:

For i. sentence given, the event is a future event, hence the verb (was free ) is not right as it is in the past. Hence the verb has to be represented in the future tense as the event would happen in the future

The lady would be free the following Thursday.

For ii. sentence given, the given sentence is grammatically right, though there could be one more variant to this sentence.

The narrator is an actor

For iii. sentence given, time cannot be quantitatively measured. Hence instead of plenty, much could be used.

The lady had much time to spare.

For iv. sentence given, it is something to do with the narrator's ability hence can/could to be used.

The narrator could not recognize the lady immediately.​
