Explanation:

In sentence II we need an adjective to describe the type of women and ‘increase’ is a verb. So, A and D should interchange as ‘elderly’ is the only highlighted adjective.
In sentence I, ‘pacify’ is a verb which means quell the anger, agitation, or excitement of. This is wrong in context of the sentence. It should be exchanged with the other highlighted verb ‘expect’ which means regard (something) as likely to happen. So, B-E.
In sentence I, states and discoms cannot expect the lowest possible ‘stories’. It is best exchanged with ‘tariffs’ to make the sentence contextually correct.
Thus, option 1 is the correct answer.
