Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Just because Zorba has an absolute advantage in the production of all goods does not mean that it's not beneficial for the two countries to trade. Suppose there are only two goods. Zorba may have a comparative advantage in only one of the two goods, while Anduluvia may have a comparative advantage in the other. So Zorba could be made better off by specializing in the good in which it has the comparative advantage and trading with Anduluvia for the other good.
