SFG Test 30 Doubt

In sfg Test 30. Q.31 - Mr Gogou was nominated where as Mr Mishra was elected. so I would like to have further clarification about the answer.

In Q 34. Predation will refer to killing whereas parasitism will refer to hurting. I would like to know more about the difference between parasitism and predation.

Not aware of the context of the question, but a predator, like a lion would kill a deer. A parasite in the other hand requires that its host lives, and it feeds off it. It does not kill, but harms. The parasite's existence is dependent on the host. If the host dies the parasite dies too unless it is able to find another host.
