Answer to Question 1

Equality of opportunity means that everyone has the same chance to pursue their own goals, while equality of results aims to give everyone the same outcome. In a football game, equality of opportunity would mean that the rules of the game are mutually agreed upon as fair, while equality of results would mean that the game would have to end tied.
