S1: It is False

addition of Integer is closed

Addition of integer is associative ((1+2)+3)=(1+(2+3))

Identity property also satisfied 0+1=1, here identity element is 0

Inverse of 1 is (-1), 1+(-1)=0, So, inverse also satisfied

So, Integer addition will be a group

S2: It is also false

Associativity also not satisfied

((7-2)-3) not equal with (7-(2-3))

i.e.(5-3) not equal with (7+1)

but in monoid we have to satisfy associativity and identity property

S3: Also False

As, Integer multiplication doesnot satisfy inverse property

inverse of 2 will be 1/2

which is not an integer

So, Integer multiplication cannot form a group
