Just to add: in (3), I'd suggest: C'est un bon auteur, non? Obviously if you keep the definite article, it becomes l'auteur est bon (I suppose it could also be "bien", but if you mean "is a technically skilled writer, I think "bon" makes more sense).
In terms of the tags, I'm not sure what this exercise is really trying to test-- the most idiomatic solution is probably to use "non?" in all 5 cases.
