Answer:
1 - B
2 - A
Explanation:
In the first pair, the item that is written in more detail is item B. While item A simply mentions clothing and desk arrangement, item B tells us what the issues with the narrator's clothing and desk arrangement are exactly. They should wear a freshly ironed shirt and put papers in a desk tray. This information is not present in item A.
The situation is similar in the second pair. Item A contains more details than item B. Item B tells us that students have trouble organizing their time and finishing their tasks, such as their papers. Item A tells us where the problem in their time organization is exactly - they wait until the day before to start writing, and then they can't even think of the topic.

It is a scientific fact; whereas for instance D, A and B are only opinions or stataments.
