Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

False. Population can measure the quantity of a nation's labor resource, but the population numbers don't tell us anything about skills that this labor force obtained from education, on-the-job training, and work experience, which are called human capital. Thus, the population numbers in the statement only tell us that China is likely to have more labor than the United States, but it does not necessarily mean that it also has more human capital.
