Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Smith was highly critical of trade barriers because they decrease specialization, technological progress, and wealth creation. He also recognized that imports enable a country to obtain goods that it cannot make or cannot make as cheaply, while exports are made for someone else and are useful only if they lead to imports.
