Answer:

Higher, lower

Step-by-step explanation:

Since in the question it is mentioned that the Abe could catch six fish pounds in an hour or pick fruit ten pounds

Where on the other hand, Zeb could catch 30 fish pounds in an hour or pick fruit twenty pounds

So

The opportunity cost of fish is higher for Abe and for fruit it should be lower as compared with Zeb
