Explanation:

1. Playing sitar is Arjuna's hobby.

➣ Here, "Playing" is the gerund because -

• It is working like a noun instead of here.
• Here, "-ing" is used in the word "Playing".

2. The only free moment.

➣ Here, the phrase means that -

• Not having enough time.

OR

• Having a short period of time.

3. Let us made no mistake, great challenges still remain.

➣ Here, the error which is spotted is -

• The word 'made'.
• It is not talking about the past.
• It has been converted to 'make'.

4. That's the best thing that has happened to me.

➣ Here, in the sentence,

• It has been asked to convert it to a comparative degree.
• The adjective is 'best'.
• It has been converted to 'better'.
• The word 'than' is used.

Answer 2

Hello. I'm sorry, but I marked your answer brainliest without checking cause i know you would tell the correct answer. Im sorry for wasting your time, i should have insisted myself on reading it

Here is your answer

1) Playing: it is a gerund ( ends with ing, like all gerunds)

and it cannot be a participle as a participle act as a verbal adjective.

2) The only free moment for me is after my classes get over. The phrase ' the only free moment' means the minimal time any person can get.

3) Let us make no mistake, great challenges still remain.

4) She begged him repeatedly to come.

5) That is one of the better things that has happened to me ( not sure whether the answer is correct )

Thank you
