1) "OPPORTUNITY TO" IS CORRECT INSTEAD OF "OPPORTUNITY OF" BECAUSE SENTENCE IS TALKING ABOUT DOING SOMETHING , SO OPPORTUNITY TO DO SOMETHING. oPTIONS A, B, C ELIMINATED.

2) PARALLELISM IN PERFORMING TRICKS, SKATEBOARDING TRICKS. SO OPTION E IS CORRECT.

The sentence talks about the purpose or intent of performing tricks. Hence 'to'+ verb is required instead of 'of'
Hence A and B are eliminated
C and D do not have the all the elements parallel. This is corrected in E
Hence E is right choice
