Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Commodities are not used as money because of several problems. Many commodities are bulky. And many commodities change in value over time. Using as money a commodity that changes in value would be awkward. Prices would change simply because the commodity's value changed. Additionally, using a commodity as money has a higher opportunity cost than do currency and bank deposits because the commodity has alternative uses that must be foregone.
