B Correct answer
Explanation

In sentence i, 'marry' is the correct verb meaning to enter into marriage. 'Merry' is an adjective meaning cheerful or festive, which doesn't fit grammatically. In sentence ii, 'piece' is correct as it refers to a portion of bread. 'Peace' means freedom from disturbance, which doesn't make sense with 'of bread'.
