Answer to Question 1

C Answer C describes the key difference between perfect com-petition and monopolistic competition.

Answer to Question 2

In a perfectly competitive market, the supply curve is the sum of all firms' supply curves. In a monopoly market, there is no supply curve. Supply is determined by how much the monopoly wants to produce given his marginal cost curve and the shape of the demand curve.
