Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

A good economic model has two important properties. First, it is an approximation. The model predicts what would happen on average. Second, it makes predictions that can be tested with data.
A model is a simplified description, or representation, of reality. Because models are simplified, they are not perfect replicas of reality. However, this does not mean that they are unrealistic. Models are usually simplified in order to be able to isolate the relationship between two variables. Even if a model is based on simplified assumptions, it may still help us make good predictions and plan for the future.
