The answer is true.
No. Modern English is only somewhat inflected, and uses word order to establish most grammatical relationships.
Modern English is considered an analytic language. It relies more on word order and auxiliary verbs to convey meaning rather than inflections or word endings. This is a shift away from the synthetic nature of Old English, which used inflections to indicate grammatical relationships.
The four stages of the English language are Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English. These stages mark the historical development and evolution of the language over time.
The modern Scottish language is known as Scottish Gaelic, which is a Celtic language spoken predominantly in parts of Scotland. It is one of the official languages of Scotland alongside English.
The letter 'Z' is still a fully used, fully functioning letter of the English Language.
No, modern English is not a language with leveled inflections. It has lost many inflections found in older forms of English, such as Old English. Instead, English relies more on word order and auxiliary verbs to convey meaning.

Old English was a highly inflected language. Its four cases were the same as four of the five cases in ancient, classical Latin. It lacked the Latin language's ablative case for the objects of prepositions. Otherwise, it would have been more cooperative than modern English in retaining Latin word order.

The most obvious difference is that you can read Middle English and understand it, or some of it, anyway, whereas Old English is very foreign looking. Old English, often called Anglo-Saxon, is a heavily inflected Germanic language with three genders, three numbers ( singular, dual and plural) and five cases in the noun, Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Accusative and Instrumental. Middle English is a lightly inflected Germanic language that has a great deal of French vocabulary and grammar, no gender and only three cases in the noun, Subjective, Possessive and Objective ( Modern English has only two, Subjective and Possessive).
EARLY MODERN ENGLISH is what it is really called.

The English language is about 1500-2000 years old. Modern English is somewhere between 300 and 400 years old--Shakespeare wrote in Early Modern English.

Modern English, the same language I am writing in and you are reading. It is a different dialect called Elizabethan or Early Modern, but the same language, easily comprehensible by English-speakers today.
