Deductive Logic - Advise on a question - Hard Problem?

Question

This is an assignment I got. I don't understand it at all. What questions should I ask my professor to clarify in order to sound intelligent when asking? Thanks...

1. Using deductive logic, explain how the following correct answers link to the corresponding correct concept or phrase:
NOTE: Inside parenthetical is not the primary answer but secondary which qualified as correct.

A: 1, 8, 6, 2, 12, 3, 10, 11, 5, 9, 4(7), 7(4)

C: 11, 9(3), 4, 12, 1, 6, 2, 10, 8, 7, 3(9), 5

E: 8, 2, 11, 10, 3, 12, 5, 4, 9, 7, 6, 1

2. As in previous exercises, present your defense using the following deductive-logic format:
Mathematics - Objective
a. Objectivity is analysis based on hard, observable facts.
b. Mathematics is the science studying the exact relationships between quantities and magnitudes.
c. Therefore, Mathematics is an objective pursuit.

Answer 1

I observe that each exercise consists of the numbers 1 through 12 arranged in apparently random fashion. A and B have secondary answers which for some reason could be considered correct. Secondary answers always come in pairs.

What is meant by completing a matching exercise?
Do all three exercises "match" somehow?
Could all three exercises be produced by the same concept or phrase? Give an example of a phrase. Is a concept an algorithm?

Answer 2

my first question is what do the values in each of A, C, and E represent, and further, how do the parenthetical values relate to the others.

Secondly, question 1 refers to "correct answers" -- to what??
