Is N Odd

This is a GMATPrep problem

Is the integer n odd?

(1) n is divisible by 3
(2) 2n is divisible by twice as many positive integers as n

For some reason the spoiler feature is not working for me. So, OA is the answer choice # 3+5-1+2-7

Eliminate B for there is no subject for the hanging word 'proclaiming'
Eliminate C for ambiguous 'they'
Eliminate E for wrong usage: "....proclamation of a sacred truce that was for"

IMO D as it is clear

Co-ordinate Geometry - DS question

Got trouble with this question. Any suggestions on the solution? I chose (A) and got it wrong.

Question:
If (ab NOT EQUAL 0) and points (-a,b) and (-b,a) are in the same quadrant of the xy-plane, is point (-x,y) in this same quadrant?

(1) xy > 0
(2) ax > 0
