Answer 1

Here you're calling the static method reverseOrder of the Collections class and it returns a Comparator. You're not calling a constructor. So there is no need to instantiate a new comparator as it is handled by the method.

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/util/Collections.html#reverseOrder()

Answer 2

Why we don't use new keyword at comparator

Answer 3

Remove the 'new' keyword from the Comparator line 9.
