Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

The Big Mac index is a simple example of a purchasing power parity adjustment. Its shortcoming is that instead of a bundle of diverse goods, this index only compares a bundle consisting of a single good, the Big Mac, which is only a small fraction of people's consumption. Thus, its price will not reflect true cost of living differences across countries.
