Answer to Question 1

Free international trade leads in each country to the expansion in the production of that country's comparative advantage good and a contraction in the production of its comparative disadvantage good. At existing commodity prices there will be an excess demand for the country's abundant factor and an excess supply of its scarce factor. This will cause a change in relative prices in both countries moving each toward the other's. In the end, because factors are equally productive across countries (identical technology), prices will be equalized. Therefore, scarce factors should oppose free trade because it lowers their payments, while abundant factors should favor free trade.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

People who have myopia, or nearsightedness, are not able to see objects at a distance but only up close. It occurs when the cornea is either curved too steeply, the eye is too long, or both. This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition. Diet, eye exercise, drug therapy, and corrective lenses can all help manage nearsightedness.
