    Solution

    1 talks about how some large and powerful nations have implemented their wills on the small and weak ones. 2 talks about how the chamber exercises a control on finances and taxes can be implemented only with its consent. IMPOSED can fit in both sentences to convey both requisite meanings. Thus, (d) is the right answer. A, B and C will fit only in 2, while E will fit only in 1.
