Answer to q2 is Milton. Coleridge also died in the age greater than fifty but his great works were published earlier whereas Milton's paradise lost and other great works were published after he was fifty years of age. Q5: ans should be Le Langue. it is the concept proposed by Saussure and it is the collection of all sentences in the language whereas parole is the specific instance.
