Hint: Here we need to see the correct option that is the sentence asking for the reason or asking the question ,and then we need to select the write option that suits for the given sentence so we need to first check the question and write an answer for that.Here 2 questions are being given both A and B we need to check it.

Complete answer:
Option A is incorrect : Here the option A is wrong because here it is asking for the reason that is why The purpose of “why and were” it is incorrect and and does not fit correct for the option and hence it is not proper answer so we do not use it.

Option B is correct : Here it is asking what was the role of Jennifer was 2 years ago.And it is also in past tense so both the words match each other and the option is correct for both the given
sentences.Anh hence we do not choose this one as the answer.

 Option C is incorrect : The option is incorrect because it is asking about the person that is “who”
And the other word is “was” which is in past tense so it is not the correct option and we do not use this one as the correct option.

Option D is incorrect : This is the incorrect option because it is also asking about the person in the first sentence and in the second sentence it is “were” which is the incorrect option for the given question so we don’t use it .

Hence the correct answer is option ‘B’.

Note: Here, we need to note that which option is going to fit the best sentence and here it is asking about a particular person so based on that we are using the option “What / was” as the correct one an make sure that which question is going to match the proper option and we need to us that as the answer.
