I can't remember whether B can run the endline or take the spot.
Team B would still be allowed to run the endline in this case, b/c it's after a made basket or awarded score. The common foul does not negate the ability to run the endline. (In college, even a non-common foul would not negate the ability to run the endline.)

I agree with all of Chuck's answers, but I'll point out that there's not enough information in question 2 to answer it definitively.

If A2's foul was near the end-line, then Chuck's answer is correct. If A2's foul was such that the throw-in would be on the sideline, then it's obviously a spot throw-in.

I agree that Chuck's answer is likely what the test maker intended.

??? Why do you say there is not enough information and that it would ever go to the sideline. The rule is clear that if there is a field goal scored on a foul that it is taken from the baseline and that the offended team can run the baseline. This prevents a team from fouling whie shot is in the air to force a spot throw-in (yes there are teams and coaches that smart). It does not make sense that a team scores and the other team is forced into a disadvantage because they cannot run. Chuck is 100 percent right that this is a baseline throw-in
