Correct answer: Ethanol and ethanamide
Explanation: Ammonia ammonolyses an ester (nucleophilic acyl substitution) to give an amide from the acyl part and the corresponding alcohol from the alkoxy part.
For ethyl ethanoate (ethyl acetate):
CH3COOCH2CH3 + NH3 → CH3CONH2 (ethanamide) + CH3CH2OH (ethanol)
