We all know how frustrating it is to distinguish between "lie (lay, lain)" and "lay (laid, laid)". However, at least, one is transitive and one is intransitive. Now I just found out that "underlie (underlay, underlain)" and "underlay (underlaid, underlaid)" are both transitive verbs.

Would you help me to differentiate between 'underlay (v.)' and sense 2 & 3 of 'underlie', please?
Moreover, could you be so kind to help me with the two following questions please?
1) He plays rock music but ... with jazz, blues and soul.
2) Some areas in the study region were ... by chalk or limestone.
The answer to these questions is 1B 2A. What do you think about the answer key? Could you please explain it?
Thank you very much.
