Solution

The language of the selected text is English.

The correct answer to the question is: "Both 1 and 2 are true."

Explanation:

  1. The first statement is true. China is indeed Australia's largest export market, and Australia predominantly exports iron ore to China.

  2. The second statement is also true. China has a comparative advantage in producing computers, meaning it can produce computers at a lower opportunity cost than Australia.

  3. The third statement is not necessarily true. Just because Australia has a higher opportunity cost of producing computers does not mean it has an absolute advantage in producing iron ore. Absolute advantage refers to the ability to produce more of a good or service with the same amount of resources. The information given does not provide enough evidence to determine if Australia has an absolute advantage in producing iron ore.

Therefore, the answer is "Both 1 and 2 are true."
