Answers:

1. Answer A is correct. Recreational pilots are only allowed to carry one passenger, even if the airplane has seats for more.

2. Answer A is correct. En Route Flight Advisory Service or Flight Watch is designed to provide en route aircraft with timely and meaningful weather advisories pertinent to the type of flight intended. In addition to providing weather advisories, Flight Watch is a central collection and distribution point for pilot-reported weather information (AIM 7-1-5).
