First:
Your DOF is too small.
Your main object should be completely in focus for the picture being of use.
Your second is noisy and not in focus.
Your third is also out of focus:
...and you should clean the glasses before taking pictures. You need to avoid these reflections in the glass. Finally the picture has exposure issues.
midtones: check your histogram.
263: noisy, out of focus and underexposed (check the histogram).
56_1: out of focus:
Underexposed, even that the overall picture looks overexposed. You need to check the histogram! In addition, you have a white balance issue, probably because of the lighting.
Have a look at my before and after editing: In a more sophisticated editing, I would work with masks.
As a side remark: Adobe requires pictures to be sRGB, yours are ProPhoto RGB. As I have never seen a picture being refused for using the wrong colour profile, it is always good to stick with what Adobe says in their documentation. At some stage, Adobe may decide to purge their database based on such errors.
I deliberately chose to focus on certain objects only. For example, in the first image, the focus is on the blackboard with a bokeh effect on other objects.

Sure, but your main object should stay in focus.
(...) I have also uploaded the same photos on another microstock & has been approved.

Adobe's turf, Adobe's rules.
An example: on France's highways you are allowed to drive at 130 km/h, in Belgium, you may drive only 120 km/h and in Germany, the speed is often unlimited on highways. You always drive the same car, the roads are similar. The rules are different because the legislators decided so. It's the same with stock. What one database accepts, does not necessarily be accepted by another.
The clock in the second image appears to have four hands.

I would say that this is an alarm clock, and the fourth hand is the alarm setting. I had an alarm clock like this about fifty years ago.
You could add a message on the white board, and not only help with the focal point, but also add value to your photo (...)
By @ZALEZPHOTO
Putting a focussing aid on the white board could be a great idea, but writing something on it would be contra-productive. You would write in what language? Your assets are getting sold worldwide!
As a side note: You can add your attached pictures in-line, that would avoid having the people needing to click them. Original refused pictures should be posted as attached images, however.
As a side note-2: I hope you have the right to post those two slides. If not, that could represent a copyright violation.
Hello,
You have a dust spot, and I think you can reduce the highlights a bit - the white is overexposed.
and histogram:
Image 00014 - shows the overexposed whites - it's a bit too much.
And you do have camera shake!
1/20 sec is too slow to handhold!
And - 00057:
f/1.2 is too shallow, as you can see, this part is blurred.
For the composition, I think it should be sharp.
As an intellectually curious human, I'm not feeling the vibe. As a customer, I wouldn't buy this.
