Answer 1

Use \centering instead of the center environment which adds space after the environment.

\documentclass[fleqn,10pt]{article}
% END PREAMBLE

\begin{document}

\begin{center}
\large{\textbf{NAME}}\\
\normalsize something 123456789
\end{center}

%\begin{center}
{\centering \textbf{FALSE:}\par}
%\end{center}

This is some text. This is some text. This is some text. This is some text.
