Try deleting those words and starting with the past participle to see if the sentence sounds more professional.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
It's a common mistake where the participle clause describes the wrong subject. For example, `Walking to the store, the rain started.` implies the rain was walking. You must ensure the subjects match.
Yes, but they sound quite formal. In casual conversation, we usually use `because` or `so`. You might hear them in speeches or formal presentations.
`Seen` describes a state or simultaneous action. `Having been seen` emphasizes that the action was completed *before* the main verb happened.
If the clause comes at the beginning, yes. If it follows the noun it describes (e.g., `The car stolen yesterday...`), you usually don't need a comma unless it's non-defining information.
Yes! Just put `not` at the very beginning. `Not surprised by the news, she continued her work.`
Because the subject of the sentence is the *receiver* of the action in the participle clause. `Struck by lightning, the tree fell` (The tree was struck).
Only with transitive verbs (verbs that take an object) because only they can be made passive.
Yes, `Given the circumstances...` is a very common fixed participle clause used to mean 'Considering the circumstances'.
