As part of a joint process two museums - Museo Metropolitano (MM) and the Fundacion Arte (FA)- have decided to require that exhibits at each museum be directly connected to the strengths of their permanent collections. MM's strengths are East Asian printmaking, 19th-century European maintaining, and the 18th century US painting and sculpture; the FA's strengths are 20th century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, and art from 14th-century South America.
In addition, MM's next exhibit must be devoted to something other than European or US art and be restricted to the 20th century. FA's next exhibit must be devoted to art that is abstract, or at least art that is not fully representational (e.g. semi-abstract or semirepresentational) preferably including at least some art by US women.
For each of the two museums, select a work that could be included in that museum's next exhibit without violating any of its requirement for exhibits. Make only two selections in each column.

Official Explanation
For a work to meet MM’s requirements to be included in future exhibits, it must be a work of East Asian printmaking, a 19th-century European painting, or an 18th-century US painting or sculpture. However, the next exhibit must be devoted to something other than European or US art. This leaves only East Asian printmaking. The work by Hashiguchi Goyo is the only work that meets this requirement.
The correct answer is Representational woodblock prints by Hashiguchi Goyo (male, Japan, 20th c.).
For a work to meet FA’s requirements to be included in future exhibits, it must be a work of 20th-century US painting, 20th-century jewelry, or 14th-century South American art. The next exhibit is to be devoted to art that is abstract, semiabstract, or semirepresentational. The works by Louise Nevelson, Paul Cézanne, René Lalique, and Yuan Chin-Taa each meet the criteria for the exhibit. However, only the jewelry by René Lalique fits in with the strengths of FA.
The correct answer is Semiabstract, semirepresentational art nouveau jewelry by René Lalique (male, France, 20th c.).

Well here goes the reasoning...The condition is MM needs to have an abstract or else atleast a semi representational art work (from a US female) ; while MM needs a 20th Century artwork from an artist who doesnt belong to US or Europe (It includes France as per world map:) )
So Out of all the 5
1 <-- Apt for FA
2 <-- Apt for MM
Other options all violate the conditions...
Hope you understand
