Remove space shows like tab while only one space between 2 words given only
Two words space is single…but it shows like TAB (e.g. For instance)…

An image is purely useless and even more when View>Formatting Marks is not enabled. It seems you have replaced the spaces with tabs because all your words align with the implicit tabs.
First determine what is between words. View>Formatting Marks display different blue symbols for spaces and tabs. And you probably have line breaks too which make some lines shorter.
The image shows a strange mess of automatic line wrap and manual breaks.
Edit your question to change the screenshot (with formatting marks display enabled).
What do you mean with “remove space”? Do you make a Find & Replace operation? This text is pasted? From which source?
You will need to find \t and replace with a space. And then fix the manual line breaks.
Don’t change the question title. You make it difficult to relate to previous request (my memory at least is very limited).

Thank you
It all boils down to the fact that your words are separated by tabs instead of standard spaces.
First, recover spaces. Edit>Find & Replace. Check Regular expressions so that you can tell you are targeting the tab characters. In Find: enter \t, in Replace: a standard space. Press Replace All if you’re confident that no tab is used for tabulation; otherwise press Replace to replace an occurrence or Find Next to skip.
You also have spurious paragraph breaks. It is simpler and less error-prone to remove them manually.

Upvoting is really for other people than you who find the answer helpful. They, on the other hand, can’t accept the answer.
Thank you for your explanation
To recover (at least partially) the end of paragraph structure, you can make a Find and Replace with three different arguments (make sure that Regular expressions are checked, and Save before testing):
$
█ (you can use whichever symbol not present in your document)([.\?!])█ (add between the brackets every symbol that could end a paragraph; the \ is needed to escape the ?)$1\n
