Answer to Question 1

A private good is characterized by the principle of rival consumption, which means that one person's consumption of a good reduces the amount available for someone else. A public good is not characterized by the principle of rival consumption. Public goods can be used by more people at no additional cost. Further, once the good is produced, it is usually impossible, or at the very least difficult, to exclude anyone from consuming it.

Answer to Question 2

B

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
