  • I am not sure about this one. I think this is not isomorphic because the vertex with degree 4 is adjacent to another vertex with degree 4 while the other one is connected through a vertex with degree 3. Is this correct?

Yep, that's right. Alternatively, you could consider subgraphs of the given graphs that consist of vertices of degree 4 and the edges connecting them. If the graphs are isomorphic, these subgraphs must be isomorphic too. However, these subgraphs are not isomorphic (draw them and check), hence, the graphs are not isomorphic too.
