Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Students should have a clear statement of the Stolper-Samuelson theorem.
Trade benefits the nation's abundant factor and harms the nation's scarce factor.
Thus, since the U.S. is abundant in skilled labor, skilled workers should be better off, and unskilled workers should be worse off. The reverse is true in China.
