First of all if something is a Bronsted base/acid then it is also a Lewis base/acid.
a) False. Can accept a proton (Bronsted base) and has an electron pair (the lone pair of the nitrogen atom) to donate (Lewis base)
b) True
c) False. It can give the H+ of the carboxyl (-COOH) group so it is a Bronsted acid (and also a Lewis acid)
d) True
e) False. Benzene cannot give H+ so its not a Bronsted acid.
