Answer 1

There is a missing bracket for the "identity" property on line 263.
Correct code:
"apiVersion": "2017-03-30",
"type": "Microsoft.Compute/virtualMachines",
"name": "[variables('vmName')]",
"location": "[resourceGroup().location]",
"identity": {
"type": "SystemAssigned"}, //**Missing bracket**
"dependsOn": [
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Storage/storageAccounts/',
variables('storageAccountName'))]",
"[resourceId('Microsoft.Network/networkInterfaces/',
variables('nicName'))]"
],
