What are the catch words..
they worked side by side, but they were astonished with their results. So the results were not as expected and what would one expect of peopple working side by side - THAT their results are similar or compatible
so their results must not be similar/compatible - Here in accord means the same so B
the tone of the next part of the sentence tends to aggravate the situation and we are looking for an extreme word for ' not similar/compatible' - Here irreconcilable is correct E
thus B and E
