Answer #1

Nitrogen triflouride is weaker base because it has less dipole moment as compare to ammonia.

Polar aprotic solvents are the polar solvents that have hydrogen on them, but they do not have O−HO−H or N−HN−H bonds and therefore do not have hydrogen bonding in them. This criteria is satisfied by all the given solvents.

example : dimethyl formamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran

protic solvent has an HH- atom bond with O or N. In protic solvent I− is better nucleophile. I− has bigger size and more e− density around the atom.

example: ethanol, water, methanol.
