Answer to Question 1

The statement is incorrect. Absolute advantage, which is essentially the ability to produce more of a good than another country, has nothing to do with the gains from trade. All nations gain from free international trade regardless of whether they possess an absolute advantage or not.

Answer to Question 2

B
