(A) $1.$ True. In a cyclic process,the system returns to its initial state,so the change in state functions like internal energy is zero $(\Delta U = 0)$.
$2.$ False. In an adiabatic process,there is no exchange of heat $(Q = 0)$,but the temperature of the system changes as work is done.
$3.$ False. In an isothermal process,the temperature remains constant. Since internal energy of an ideal gas depends only on temperature,$\Delta U = 0$ for an isothermal process.
