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.
