Here are your correct matches, with a few bits of added info:

1. First president to visit Communist China = Richard Nixon

This was a lasting foreign policy initiative, starting friendly relations between the US and The People's Republic of China

2. Egyptian leader = Anwar el-Sadat

3. Israeli leader = Menachem Begin

Sadat and Begin signed a peace treaty between their countries.

4. deposed Shah of Iran = Mohammed Reza Pahlavi

5. Soviet leader visited by Nixon in 1972 = Leonid Brezhnev

6. Nixon's Vice President = Spiro Agnew

Agnew was the Vice-President until he resigned for tax evasion. He was replaced by Gerald Ford

7. leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran = Ayatollah Khomeini

8. fired by President Nixon Archibald Cox

Cox was Special Prosecutor in the Watergate investigation. Firing Cox did not solve that crisis for Nixon. Leon Jaworski was appointed to replace Cox, and the investigation continued.
