Step-by-step solution

The major product of the following reaction is:Methoxy group increases the pKa of the phenol group - it makes it less acidic. The oxygen atom does indeed exert an electron-withdrawing inductive effect, but the lone pairs on the oxygen cause the exact opposite effect So the methoxy group is an electron-donating group by resonance.

The major product of the following reaction is:
