Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

A country can have an absolute advantage without having a comparative advantage in the production of a product, because having an absolute advantage means a country can produce more of the product than another country while using the same amount of resources, and having a comparative advantage means that the country can produce the product at a lower opportunity cost than another country. Having a comparative advantage is not required to have an absolute advantage.
