Answer to Question 1

(1.) It is impossible to measure utility.
(2.) It is impossible to compare the utility of different people.

Answer to Question 2

The statement is incorrect because it confuses a decrease in quantity demanded with a decrease in demand. When supply decreases, the price increases and quantity demanded falls (shown by a movement along the demand curve). Demand does not change.
