Part b.) There's a well-known corollary to Baire's Category Theorem that states:
\dagger In a complete metric space, the intersection of any countable collection of dense G_\delta's is again a dense G_\delta.
First notice that we can write \mathbb{Q} = \bigcup_{n=1}^{\infty} \lbrace q_n \rbrace, where \lbrace q_n \rbrace_{n \in \mathbb{N}} is an enumeration of the rationals. Since each \lbrace q_n \rbrace is closed, it's easy to see that \mathbb{Q} \in F_\sigma.
Next, observe that \mathbb{Q} \in F_\sigma \Rightarrow \mathbb{Q}^c \in G_\delta. Now it is clear from \dagger that \mathbb{Q} can not be G_\delta, since \mathbb{Q} \cap \mathbb{Q}^c = \emptyset, which is nowhere-dense. Thus, \mathbb{Q} is F_\sigma but not G_\delta, as desired.
Part c.) S = (\mathbb{Q} \cap (-\infty, 0]) \cup (\mathbb{Q}^c \cap (0, \infty))
