Hi, Salim! :)
I am not absolutely sure about the correct answers and explanations to sentences 1,2,3 and 5, so I will try to explain only sentence 4. Neither do I is correct. The the word-order when you use so or neither is: So/Neither + Auxiliary Verb + Subject.
I hope I helped you a little.

#1, #2 and #5 are correct. Freedom has already explained #4.

#3 is not correct ("has been" is not completely grammatically impossible, but the circumstances in which it could be used in conjunction with a named year are rare -- e.g. in a narrative written in the historical present). Both "will have been" and "had been" work here, and I don't see how you can choose between them unless you know when the statement was made. From our perspective now it should be "had been", but if the question was written in the year 2000, say, then "will have been" would have been the expected answer.
