Answer #1

Functional groups capable of forming hydrogen bonding with water are water soluble. e.g: -OH, -COOH, -NH2 etc. are water soluble.

A: A contains functional groups cyclic ether(R-O-R), tertiary amine (-N-), and amide (CONH-). All of these groups are not water soluble. Hence this is insoluble in water.  

(Cyclic Ether) (Tertiary Amine) (Amide)

B: A contains functional groups ether (R-O-R), carbon=carbon double bond, Ester (RCOOR'), amide (CO-NH-) and primary amine (-NH2). Although -NH2 is quite soluble in water, due to the presence of bulky hydrophobic carbon chains, it is very ver less soluble in water.

Between A and B, B is more soluble in water.
