Answer:

b)  three terms

c)  -1

d)  7

e) 4

Step-by-step explanation:

put the expression in decreasing exponent order with the constant at the end

-x⁴ - 2x + 7

With this format it is easy to find the leading coefficient which is the coefficient of the term with the highest exponent; in this case you only see a negative sign but every variable, if no other coefficient is present, has an invisible '1'
