Thank you!

1) You have to water the flowers every day, or else they will wither.

Nowadays, most writers would omit that comma, but it’s not wrong.

2) I can't stand Gabe!

He's so narcissistic.

He thinks himself a superstar, doesn’t he? | Does he think himself a superstar, or what?

For me, “or what” is always preceded by a question, not a statement.

3) - Have you eaten lunch?

Omitting the space after the dash is unnatural.

- No, I'm on a diet.

4) - This projector doesn't work.

I think it's broken.

- Did you try plugging in the plugt in?

More natural.

5) I can't stay in this room too long.

It's not ventilated.
