= Solution

Set $M=A-\lambda I$. Its <conjugate transpose> is $M^\dagger=A^\dagger-\overline\lambda I$, so
$$
\begin{aligned}
M^\dagger M&=A^\dagger A-\lambda A^\dagger-\overline\lambda A+|\lambda|^2I,\\
MM^\dagger&=AA^\dagger-\overline\lambda A-\lambda A^\dagger+|\lambda|^2I.
\end{aligned}
$$
Since $A$ is a <normal matrix>, the two products coincide. Therefore \b[$A-\lambda I$ is normal for every complex $\lambda$].
