Explaination of the question:
The trader's option portfolio is short vega (that's why it says highly unfavorable sensitive to increases implied volatility, and only long-dated option has very high vega) and short theta (that is, the trader long a lot of short-dated options which leads to significant daily losses). So to reduce the losses, the trader needs to buy long-dated options to hedge vega and sell short dated option to hedge theta.

I recommend you to plot  the graph of call option vega vs. time to expiration and call option theta vs. time to expiration and then you will understand what I just said.

The tricky part of this question is "high unfavorable sensitivity to increases in implied volatility" This means trader loses money when the implied volatility increases.
