Unfortunately, we are supposed to refer help with the quiz to Goodreads Support. Please ask to refer it to someone familiar with the quiz. I would copy and paste what you have written here and say that you have searched the manual. You might be able to search in the group for various keywords but it might be too broad.

It was a suggestion for additions to the Manual, too
I'm not sure what this has to do with quizzes? This appears to be a question about policy for an author with works under multiple names. I believe that the option the original poster has listed as option A is the correct one -- at least, it's the one I've always been told is correct.
They are questions from the librarian quiz as mentioned in the topic header.
Since you’ve both mentioned it, and no one has closed the question, the answer to #1 is not A. That information is in the manual but it may be just briefly mentioned on the author pages. Someone is welcome to delete this if they come across it.
no A is not correct. And it's actually a pretty good question in the quiz as it shows if you just read and learnt it or if you actually understood what the rule is about.

An author has published works under the following names: Susie Smith and Susie Queenie Smith. Each work has only been published under one name or the other. She has claimed a profile under Susie Q. Smith, and confirms that is the version of her name she wishes to keep, and that future books will have that name on their covers. However, she also wants all of her previously published works to show up on the Susie Q. Smith profile. Which of the following may be done?
A: Each work should have the name under which it was published (whichever of the 2 possibilities that is) listed first, and then Susie Q. Smith listed second.
B: Books published under Susie Smith should have Susie Q. Smith listed as their primary author; books published under Susie Queenie Smith should have Susie Queenie Smith as their primary author, and Susie Q. Smith listed second.
C: All the books must be listed under Susie Queenie Smith. The author's claimed profile must be edited to also be Susie Queenie Smith.
D: Either A or B
E: None of the above. Books published under different author names cannot all be listed on the same author profile.
The Manual says that each work should have the name under which it was published listed first and the author's other names may be added as secondary authors, so I answered A, but it's incorrect.
Question #2
It is acceptable to add images for living authors as long as:
A: the images are from the same sources as allowed for book data
B: the images are from an author or publisher blog
C: you own the rights to the image (usually meaning that you created the image yourself) or you have the explicit written permission of the photo's copyright holder
D: you can prove that the image is in the public domain
E: A or B
F: C or D
The Manual says nothing about images for living and dead authors, what's the correct answer?
