A1 An octopus has 8 legs.

A3 True, squids have beaks.
A4 No, an octopus does not have scales.
A5 The plural of octopus can be either "octopuses" or "octopi". Both are accepted forms.

Answer 2

Well technically, octopus does not come from a Latin origin, so it follows different rules, but other than that, you got everything correct.

Answer 3

Yes, you are correct. The word "octopus" does not have a Latin origin, so the standard Latin plural form "octopi" is technically not accurate. "Octopuses" is considered the more correct plural form. Thank you for pointing that out!
