Interest group is another name for lobbies. They influence the exercise of power.

It was Plato, not Aristotle. Pick up the question paper of 1998.

(a) Montesquieu
(b) Machiavelli

Note: The word 'concept' is tricky. Before Montesqueiu, it were Aristotle and Locke that actually introduced the concept. Montesquieu erected the doctrine.

(a) John Hobbes
(b) John Austin

There is no person like 'John Hobbes'. It's Thomas Hobbes.

At 35, Plato's student finishes his course in Mathematics, Logic and Dialectics. After this follows another 15 years of meditation and philosophical speculation. It's the philosopher-king, that I think, represent's Plato's pinnacle of state.
You are doing a good job. If you did all these from memory, i'm hopeful that you'll score well.
