Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The Monitoring the Future study (large annual survey conducted in schools) and the National Survey on Drug Use and Health (household survey). Limitations are possible sample bias (those most at risk are less likely to be sampled), and uncertainty about the honesty of people's responses. Bonus: in spite of these limitations, year-by-year comparisons are useful for spotting increases or decreases.
