Answer to Question 1

We can conclude that Serafina's substitution effect (higher wages lead to higher opportunity cost of leisure, leads to lower leisure, leads to more labor) is greater than her income effect (higher wages lead to higher income, leads to more leisure, leads to less labor). As a result, Serafina works more hours as her wage increases.

Answer to Question 2

D
