Answer to Question 1

In monopolistic competition, the products sold are similar but differentiated, thereby enabling firms to compete on the basis of product development and marketing to further differentiate their products. In perfect competition the products are identical, thereby eliminating the opportunity for firms to compete by differentiating their product.

Answer to Question 2

D
