Why does a Common Cathode device naturally lends itself to a SOP implementation, while a Common
Anode device lends itself to a POS implementation.

Why does a straight set of SOP or POS Boolean Expressions does not
necessarily minimize the gate count for a 7-Segment Decoder.

You need to show YOUR best attempt to answer YOUR homework problems.

Think about both questions and put forth your thoughts on each. We can then reinforce your thoughts if they are on the right track, or help steer you in the right direction if you are not.
