    Solution

    First sentence - the sentence tells us how the city was looking for a clean waterbody to obtain water from. SOURCE will fit here to convey the requisite meaning. Second sentence - the sentence tells us how drumstick plant leaves and the stump of the banana plant are a good way to derive nutrients and fibres. SOURCE will fit here. Thus, (b) is the right answer. A, C and E will only fit in 1. D will not fit in either sentence.
