Sentences 2 and 4 should be revised.

- Sentence 2: "The troop will earn points for each and every box of cookies sold."
- Redundancy: "each and every" — use one.
- Revision: "The troop will earn points for each box of cookies sold." (or "…for every box sold.")

- Sentence 4: "As a sailor, Michael traveled all over the world and saw amazing places."
- Redundancy/wordiness: "traveled all over the world" and "saw amazing places" overlap; you can combine or shorten for clarity.
- Revision: "As a sailor, Michael traveled the world and saw amazing places." (or "…traveled the world, seeing amazing places.")

Sentences 1 and 3 are fine as written.
