Answer 1

B

Answer 2

It's actually D.

The ease of the final examination could not compensate for the pressure it had brought the students.

It's actually a trick sentence, so you need to analyze it carefully. Compensate means to make up for, simply put. So when you interject that simpler term in there it becomes: The ease of the final examination could not make up for the pressure it had brought the students. :)
