Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

An externality is a benefit or cost that affects someone who is not directly involved in the production or consumption of a good or service. Someone who receives a meningitis vaccination is protecting not just himself or herself from the disease, but also reduces the chances that people who have not been vaccinated will contract the disease. In this case, receiving the vaccination provides a positive externality.
