There is nothing much wrong with your sentences, but they sound a little awkward. I have corrected them to sound more natural.

The following sentences simply have to do with the use of commas:

4. A big, decorated Christmas tree occupied the whole corner of the room near the piano. 

10. She looked at him with frightened eyes, and left the room without saying anything.
17. He could have done more for you, if he had been better informed.

 

Sentence 16 is not wrong, but it would be extremely rare to say, "When come to the desk, I found there a sealed envelope."  Such a sentence sounds, perhaps, old-fashioned.  Stylistically, the use of "come" as a participle sounds odd.  It sounds more natural to use "having" + past participle in this sentence. Moreover, the word "there" would better be placed at the end of the sentence.  It sounds so much better to say, "Having arrived at [come to] the desk, I found a sealed envelope there."
