Answer to Question 1

The U.S. can benefit from trading with less productive countries as long as it produces the goods for which it has a comparative advantage and trades to receive the goods for which it does not.

Answer to Question 2

Your average would continue to rise. If you received a score on one examination that was lower than the previous exam score there wouldn't be any way to determine what would happen to your average unless you knew what this score was compared to your previous average, not your previous exam score.
