Answer #1
1) The electric field at c is zero. True (electric field inside a conductor = 0)
2) The electric field at e is zero. False (electric flux through the surface passing e is not zero)
3) The inner surface of the shell carries a charge -Q. True (electric flux through the surface passing c = 0, so net charge = 0)
4) The electric field at a is zero. False (electric flux through the surface passing a is not zero)
