Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

For price to fall, either demand had to decrease or supply had to increase, or both. If demand decreased while supply remained constant, the quantity would have decreased too, and if supply increased while demand remained constant, the quantity sold would have increased. Therefore, both demand decreased and supply increased in such a way that the quantity did not change.
