Here is a code snippet for the second loop:
<?php wp_reset_postdata();
$args = array (
'cat' => array ( 1,2,3 ), //replace with your category ids
'posts_per_page' => 5 //change it as needed
);
$category_posts = new WP_Query ( $args );
if( $category_posts->have_posts() ):
while( $category_posts->have_posts() ):
$category_posts->the_post(); ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<p><?php the_excerpt(); ?></p>
<?php endwhile;
endif;
wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
Use your css selectors to style it perfectly. Hope this helps.
