    Solution

    First sentence - we need a verb here to agree with the subject JOSEPH BROWNE. PROPOSED (posited) will fit here as the sentence tells us of a suggestion given by Browne Second sentence - we need a verb here to agree with the subject ARCHIE. PROPOSED (to ask for someone’s hand in marriage) will fit here as the sentence tells us how Archie proposed to Agatha. Thus, (e) is the right answer. A will fit in neither sentence.
