Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: The disruption illustrated the importance of the external environment in terms of economics, since ash from the eruption stalled the delivery of automobile parts, and the global component, since it was an event on one side of the globe that affected events on another side of the globe.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: A
Explanation: The demographic component of an organization's external environment involves issues that relate to broad population characteristics such as age, income, number of people in a family, education level, and so on. Values are not measurable on this broad level, so they are not considered a demographic trait.
