1. Q: A bill of lading forms the contract of carriage. A: False. Explanation: A bill of lading provides evidence of the contract of carriage, but does NOT form the contract of carriage as such.
2. Q: The bill of lading will provide evidence, or contain the contract of carriage. A: True. Explanation: The bill of lading will provide evidence, or may itself comprise, the contract of carriage.
Despite a slight twist in the wording, I don't see any major differences in these two questions that have different answers!

Basically, the bill of lading does not in and of itself necessarily comprise the contract of carriage. It does provide evidence of a contract of carriage and may contain the contract of carriage. In other words each situation would have to be assessed on its own merits. Hope this helps.
Clear, thx.
