I guess all the answers are

I would like to point out than when you talk about two fixed, distinct positive numbers, it doesn't make sense (or rather it doesn't give any information) to say one is geometrically (respectively, exponentially, logarithmically) higher than the other. It only makes sense if you are comparing two functions. That's why I only used 'geometrically' for question 1: all others are asking to compare two fixed numbers.

Also geometric progression is the same as exponential.
