À propos de ために
ため (or 為 in its kanji form) is a noun in Japanese that can be translated quite closely to 'sake' in English. However, it is classified as a non-independent word in Japanese, and must always be connected to another word which illustrates the 'sake' that ため is highlighting. The case marking particle に will often be added after ため, to show that (A) is a goal that something will be done to reach.
However, when used with verbs in the past tense, ために more frequently highlights that something happened 'due to (A)', rather than 'for the sake of (A)'. Because of this, a more accurate description of ため in all situations is 'in light of (A)'. This expresses that (A) is the primary or major event/thing that resulted in (B).
To use ために as 'in light of', 'as a result of', or 'because of', attach it to the end of verb in its past form, or a noun follow by の. It may also be used after い-Adjectives or な-Adjectives in their attributive form.
This 'in light of (A)' nuance can be used in reference to things that have already happened (as above), or in reference to something that is considered as the purpose of an action (as in our other ために grammar point).

This grammar point seems to have two very similar example sentences, and I was wondering if this might have been an oversight. Those are not in the grammar explanation section (where I guess showing the difference of usage with i-adjectives and nouns would make sense) but in the review sentences.

Hi!
This is indeed on purpose to make sure attention is paid to how to use this point with an (い-)adjective compared to a noun.
The usage is shown in the example sentences in the writeup, although perhaps it is not clear as the sentences are all different, unlike these ones.
