I won't fill in the blanks but here is the information you need to answer.
Oxidation occurs at the anode; reduction occurs at the cathode.
Oxidation is the loss of electrons; reduction is the gain of electrons. In reaction i I see C(in methanol) changing from an oxidation state of -2 to +4(in CO2) for each methanol.
In reaction ii I see O going from zero on the left to -2 on the right.
