Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The natural unemployment rate is probably higher in Western Europe than in the United States. A major reason why this difference exists is that unemployment benefit payments in Western Europe are higher than in the United States, so people stay frictionally unemployed longer in Western Europe.
