Here are some suggestions and explanations for the problem you posted. Attached are the sketches of the UV and IR spectra, along with some additional points and explanation. These answer parts (A) and (B).
(C) The principles behind UV and IR spectroscopy are the same. However, with UV spectroscopy, we are dealing with the excitation of electrons from ground to excited states, whilst with IR we are dealing with the vibrational excitation of bonds.
Major similarities and differences between spectra: It is apparent simply from looking at the spectra that there are some similarities. Both feature absorption maxima and minima, and thus ...
