Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The paradox is that water is critical to lifehas high total utilitybut sells for a low price. Diamonds, in contrast, are nonessentialhave low total utilitybut sell for a high price. The paradox is resolved by realizing that the price we are willing to pay is linked to the marginal utility from the next glass of water or diamond, not the total utility of all units of each previously obtained. We already have much water, so the marginal utility of the next water is low. But most people have few diamonds, so the marginal utility of the next diamond is high.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
