Answer to Question 1

A person has a comparative advantage in an activity that they can perform at a lower opportunity cost than other people. By participating in the activity in which they have a comparative advantage, less is given up. Because resources are scarce, more can be produced with available resources when less is given up. And, by trading people can consume more than just what they produce.

Answer to Question 2

C
