1. E
The choice is between B and E. The others can be discarded right away.
E over B because 'women' is used as a central theme in the entire passage and the 'distinct literary expression' is discussed only the second section of the passage. No mention is made initially.

2. D
Refer to line "Yet, since poetry of the period came to be defined solely as short lyrical poetry, known as waka, and became the prevailing means of expressing love, women continued to excel in and play a central role in the development of classical Japanese poetry"
This line mentions the lyrical nature of the poems. Hence D

1. B- Without gaining popularity how waka can come in to the mainstream
2. D- this is much of straight forward

This is from an old McGraw-Hill book for the IIM-CAT, I believe, so there's probably an official explanation offered by the company if anyone has the full book. :-) BUT this isn't a GMAT question, so I'm not sure if merits this much discussion.

How are we supposed to learn, if they don't tell us what is the right answer?

See Vivian's comment above.
Forum users are asked to post the source of each question and post (using the spoiler function) the official answers.
There are thousands of good questions on this forum, so when you encounter questions that include neither the source nor the correct answer, just move onto the next question.

Cheers,
Brent
