HA -- #s 1, 4, 6, 10 are correct
Charvaka - #3 is correct. Also, for # 9 "plain" for "obvious" is correct; "ex" for sex problem is incorrect.

#2 is kind of arguable. I just have a different answer; and # 5 is incorrect.

btw Charvaka -- Your answer for # 9 - EXPLAINED - is correct. Your explanation is incomplete and partly incorrect.

Happy New Year Mrs. Iyer.
I thought caste card is supposed to played only when you desperately need it:-
BAWL/BALL - hom is correct.
For # 2, while "LEECH" would fit the clue, I have a different answer.
