Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The standard of living is measured by real GDP per person, so growth in the standard of living equals growth in real GDP per person. The growth rate of real GDP per person equals the growth rate of real GDP minus the growth rate of the population. Hence it is indeed possible for a nation's GDP to grow, while its standard of living decreases. This outcome occurs whenever the population grows more rapidly than real GDP.
