(N/A) $(i)$ According to Charles's Law,$V \propto T$. As $T$ approaches $0 \ K$ (absolute zero),the volume $V$ approaches $0$.
$(ii)$ According to Gay-Lussac's Law,$P \propto T$ for a fixed volume. Therefore,as temperature increases,the pressure of the gas increases.
$(iii)$ Absolute zero temperature ($0 \ K$ or $-273.15 \ ^\circ C$) is defined as the temperature at which all thermal molecular motion ceases.
$(iv)$ As altitude increases,the atmospheric pressure decreases. The air expands and does work against the surroundings,leading to a decrease in internal energy and temperature,a process known as adiabatic cooling.

One mole of the ideal gas goes through the process $p=p_0\left[1-\alpha\left(\frac{V}{V_0}\right)^3\right]$, where $p$ and $V$ are pressure and volume, $p_0, V_0$ and $\alpha$ are constants. If the maximum attainable temperature of the gas is $\left(\frac{3}{4}\right) \frac{p_0 V_0}{R}$, then the value of $\alpha$ is
