Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

No, the analysis is incorrect. The paradox of value points out the error. Diamonds are scarce, so they have a high price and a high marginal utility. Water is abundant, so it has a low price and a low marginal utility. But the total utility from water (vastly) exceeds that from diamonds and so the consumer surplus from water (vastly) exceeds that from diamonds.
