A2. "The second half followed much the same pattern"
B1. "The Earth's atmosphere has remained much of the same for the past 200 million years"

I think A1 and B2 are correct English.
Top answer
A2 and B2 are correct (apart from missing full stops). A1 could have a meaning ascribed, but in practice seems like a mistake for A2. B1 is more glaringly wrong.
