Answer to Question 1

It represents the trade-off between two goods from two points on the PPC. Specifically, as we move from one point to another, in order to produce more of one good, we must trade-off or give up the other good. If the trade-off is constant, then the slope is constant along the PPC and the PPC is a straight line. If the trade-off increases, then the slope is increasing along the PPC and the PPC is bowed outward.

Answer to Question 2

A

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.
