Answer to Question 1

A person like Robert with a family history of heart ailments is more likely to fall ill. Insurance companies require higher premiums to cover the health expenses of such high-risk individuals, but if premiums are high, a person with a lower chance of falling ill will not buy the insurance. If several customers like Robert buy the insurance, the premium will continue to rise, forcing all low-risk individuals to stay out of the market. This is an example of adverse selection in the insurance market.

Answer to Question 2

D
