#1 good! You can't say "Had been taught" - it's missing a subject. "Having been taught" with the Gerund "having" acting as a noun works.
#2 good! "had it been designed" doesn't agree with the present tense in the second clause. Better to have both in the present tense.
# 3. No. He is wet now - so something happened in the past to make him wet. You can't say "He might have caught in the rain" - this doesn't make sense.
#4 - you were right the first time. Anne is used to speaking with her Thai friends.
#5 - NO, you must have "of the" - only one option has that.
#6 - you were right the first time - French-speaking
#7 - NO. This is the correct phrase: Patients who had emotional support were three times more likely to live six months longer...
