Self-test on dominant strategies, dominated strategies, and Nash equilibrium

GAME 1

                                         Column
                                    Left         Right
                   Up              -1,-1        -10,0
 Row                                         
                   Down            0,-10         -8,-8

1_1 Which of the following is true?
A. Row has no dominant strategy.
B. Row's dominant strategy is Up.
C. Row's dominant strategy is Down.

B. Wrong. If Column chooses Left, Row does better with Down than with Up, so Up is not dominant.
