I am having trouble with only these 2 questions. I think the first one is A. I am not sure about the second one.

The probability of being assigned a poem by Coleridge first is 5/13.
There are now only 12 poems remaining, so the probability of being assigned a poem by Lord Byron is 2/12.
The required probability is the product of these two values of probability.
