The following word document includes the solutions to questions 2,3,and 4.

Since we are looking for a compound that was formed by alkylating by an alkynide ion we can directly say it was produced by a C C-
Which means that the bond must have been formed through some of the alkyl chains in the middle of the compound

The arrows indicate the only possible places in which you can actually have an alkynide ion previously used. This reaction in general would be made using an alkyl halide with a chain that contais a triple bond at the end
The general formula would be:
