Answer to Question 1

Parts of the statement are true but a key part is false. Water is, indeed, very inexpensive and so its marginal utility is small. Because water is so inexpensive, the quantity people buy is large, which is why its marginal utility is small. However, water is essential to life. Hence the total utility of water is immense.
