Answer 1

False.

Gravitational force between two masses is F = G m1 m2 / r^2, so the force is proportional to the masses. For a given partner mass and distance, a smaller mass feels less gravitational force than a larger mass. (Note: the two masses in an interaction feel forces equal in magnitude by Newton's 3rd law.)
