Coworkers Fang, Gan, Hua, Ji, and Kun must complete three new projects: a brochure, a report, and a spreadsheet. Each worker will work on exactly one
of these projects. Exactly one worker—but not Hua—will work on the spreadsheet. The coworkers' manager will not assign any workers who are close
friends to work together on a project. Lines in the graph connect two names if and only if the two Individuals are close friends.

Great question but a very convoluted Official explanation, if it is from the official book. In that case, same can be said about these explanations as has been said many times about Verbal explanations, that they have been written very poorly.
If we go by the explanation, only possibility is having Hua and Kun as partners and Gan & Ji. So, surely as said by AnkurGMAT20, ishar25, and Palakg17, Kun would do Brochure only if Gan does report because both have to be doing opposite things.
So, My solution would be.
The biggest FLAW everyone including the official explanation is doing is to take the groups as 1-2-2.
Why cant it be 1-1-3?: It is nowhere mentioned that the remaining work in pairs.
Let us first touch upon Spreadsheet, which is surely done by just one person.
1) We know Fang has all others as close friends so has to work alone. So, one project - Fang alone
2) Hua can work alone or be in a pair with Kun.
3) Ji cannot work alone as then Gan and Hua, who are close friends will have to work together.
4) Gan cannot work alone as then Ji and Hua, who are close friends will have to work together.
5) Kun cannot work alone as then Gan, Ji and Hua, who are close friends will have to work together.
Apart from Fang, only Hua can work alone, but it is given that Hua does not work on spreadsheet.
Spreadsheet - Fang
Now we are left with two projects and 4 person.
Hua works alone or works with Kun.
1) Hua alone, then Gan-Ji-Kun together
2) Hua-Kun, then Gan-Ji
With this info let us get back to the blanks.
Kun/Ji/Fang could be assigned to work on the brochure, but only if Gan is assigned to work on the Spreadsheet/Brochure/Report.
Fang has already been tasked for Spreadsheet, so the blanks become
Kun/Ji could be assigned to work on the brochure, but only if Gan is assigned to work on the Brochure/Report.
Now Kun could do exactly the same thing as Gan, if Gan-Ji-Kun are working on the same project or Kun could do opposite if Kun-Hua are together.
We can say two things when we are speaking in relation to Gan
1) Hua will always do the opposite thing, but Hua is not there in the first blank.
2) Ji will always do the same thing as Ji always partners with Gan.
Thus, Ji goes into the first blank, and Gan also has to do the same project, so brochure goes to second blank.
Ji could be assigned to work on the brochure, but only if Gan is assigned to work on the Brochure.
