Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B
Feedback:
Workers who migrate gain new skills in the receiving countries and can return to their native countries revitalized with education and new outlooks on solving the problemsin other words, brain gain. Those who leave may also come back with the skills to educate other workers. For example, nurses may return with advanced practice nursing skills and become educators in their respective countries. Sharing nursing practices with coworkers in the new job might benefit them and their clients but would not benefit the home country. Earning more money and being safer from exposure to HIV would benefit the nurse, but not the nurse's home country.
