第一个不是很明白你下面说的那些，但是他的主语是the irritation所以选Ｂ

第２个我觉得只能用both A and B~~~A and B alike我觉得怪怪的～要ＮＮ们解释一下比较好～

quantities of只可以修饰可数名词呀～

主语是irritation,要avoid的也是irritation而不是aspirin或stomach.....

是这样吧?

第一题logical prediction, it和which指代什么(指代的都不合逻辑），C句子不完整，所以选B。

第二题同问，我记得PREP-SC上好象有这道题，但是我查韦氏的时候觉得alike和numbers都没用错：

alike: in the same manner, form, or degree : equally
                    <was denounced by teachers and students alike>

number4)plural
        : a numerous group : many
