#3 = delete "on" = He began a journey.

the same? not exactly. #1 and #3 are the beginning only. #2, #5, # 6 = the journey is over and done with. #4 You imagine him somewhere during the journey.

#7 - 9 are OK

#11 is handing only one thing. #12 you are handing at least 2 things. The rest are non-specific as to what was handed over.
