Answer #1

a) Methyl halides react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol only by this mechanism.

Reaction proceeds via SN2 elimination.resutling products will be ether Sodium methoxide attacks the methyl halide from backwards which comes under SN2 mechanism

Unhindered primary halides react with sodium ethoxide in ethanol mainly by this mechanism?

This Reaction also proceeds via SN2 mechanisam.  Sodium ethoxide attacks the alkyl halide from the back side to halide gives opposite configuration..
