No, no—you cannot put A and B together; it is too much information. 1A contains two sentences, and your assignment is to join those two into one sentence, like this:
1a. Dmitri got on a bus to go downtown. His friend Pavlo was on the same bus.
= Dmitri got on a bus to go downtown, and by coincidence his fried Pavlo was on the same bus.
Now, do that with the ot

But in my book, example shows that:
a. Mr. Romano had spaghetti for lunch. His wife made spaghetti for dinner.
b. Mr and Mrs. Romano had spaghetti for dinner
==> By coincidence, Mr. Romano had spaghetti for lunch on the same day that his wife mad spaghetti for dinner
that means we have to combine a and b into 1 sentence.
I'm so confused

Anonymouscombine these sentences into 1 sentence by using "by coincidence " or "coincidental "I find it hard to believe that that's what you're supposed to do. In each pair of examples (a and b), one is a coincidence and one is not a coincidence. Maybe you're supposed to choose the one that's a coincidence. Below, 'yes' means it's a coincidence; 'no' means

CalifJim In each pair of examples (a and b), one is a coincidence and one is not a coincidence. Maybe you're supposed to choose the one that's a coincidence. ... Once you've worked out the one that's a coincidence, you can make your sentence with 'by coincidence' or 'coincidentally' or whatever using that choice.
