Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Plurality-rule method: Byron has the most votes (14), so he wins the election.

Borda-count method: Amy wins with 65 points, compared to Dinesh's 61 points, Byron's 49 points, and Coco's 41 points.

Instant runoff method:
Coco is eliminated first with 6 first-choice votes compared to Amy with 7 votes, Byron with 14 votes and Dinesh with 9 votes.
Dinesh is eliminated second with 9 first-choice votes compared to Amy with 13 votes and Byron with 14 votes.
Byron is eliminated third with 14 first-choice votes compared to Amy with 22 votes, so Amy wins the election.
