  1. Both have London forces.
    Xe can't be dipole-dipole although it can be dipole-induced dipole and your instructor might be counting that as b (but I don't think that is very probable). CH3OH has hydrogen bonds; obviously Xe has no H and it can't have hydrogen bonding. So I would go with a only.

    For b.
    Everything has London forces.
    Both are polar (therefore dipoles) but not strong ones.
    CH3OH forms hydrogen bonds with other molecules of CH3OH. I don't think CH3CN is likely to form H bonds with itself so I would go with a and b.
