1) Recent anthropological studies reveal that the entombed mummy found in Jordan is almost 5,000 years as old as any of its purported Egyptian ancestors.

A) as old as any of its purported
B) older than any of its purported
C) as old as its purported
D) older than any of its purportedly
E) as old as its purportedly

2) A new analysis of ruins on the northernmost tip of Newfoundland reveals that the Viking settlement there is almost 600 years as old as the supposedly first North American colony.

A) as old as the supposedly
B) older than the supposedly
C) as old as the supposed
D) older than their supposed
E) as old as its first supposedly

in question 1) we use "Purported" because it is an adjective modifying noun "Egyptian" and in question 2) we use Adverb "Supposedly" because it is modifying Adjective "First".
