Question

When phenol with NaOH give phenoxide then methyl alcohol can give to form anisole

Answer 1

phenol is a mildly acidic, toxic white crystalline solid obtained from coal tar and used in chemical manufacture, and in dilute form (under the name carbolic ) as a disinfectant. The pH of a typical dilute solution of phenol in water is likely to be around 5 - 6 (depending on its concentration). That means that a very dilute solution isn't really acidic enough to turn litmus paper fully red. Litmus paper is blue at pH 8 and red at pH 5. Anything in between is going to show as some shade of "neutral".
