Solution
Part 1. Conjugate base for Bronsted acid
Conjugate base of a Bronsted-Lowry acid is the species formed after an acid donates its proton. So, the conjugate bases will have a proton less.

Part 2. Conjugate acid for Bronsted base
Conjugate acid of a Bronsted-Lowry base is the species formed after an acid accepts a proton. So, the conjugate acid will have one proton extra.
