To answer all of your questions requires quite a labor to do.It is rather a tedious task,so I will just begin with.
Famous means a very well known object or person.
ex: A famous actor/ film/ building, etc.
The word renowned implies in its meaning the state of being famous and thus virtually conveys the same meaning as the famous.
ex: "She was renowned at her sixties as an outstanding scientist ".
In most cases you can substitute the word renowned by the famous.They are synonyms.
Prestigious means a quite different thing and points that something is greatly respected.
ex: "A prestigious university/ job/ profession, etc ".
" His first novel immediately won a prestigious prize ".
The word therapy and the remedy revolve around of curing illnesses or to help someone to overcome some indispositions. The differences between them ,that the remedy means a successful way of curing (or dealing with a problem or difficulty),whereas the therapy helps to feel better,grow stronger,etc,but not necessarily guarantees a full treatment. And besides that, the therapy can be taken before (after) an actual illness. Just to prevent it.
The sculpture is the art of forming solid object out of a material as wood,clay,metal and so on. While the carve means cutting into wood or stone,or to cut into the surface of that,but usually not considered as the art.
ex:"He carved her name on the wall ."
