Answer to Question 1

b

Answer to Question 2

False. While it is true that consumers pay the full tax in the case of perfectly inelastic demand, it is not the only case. Regardless of demand elasticity (except in the rare case where demand is also perfectly elastic), consumers will pay the full amount of the tax if supply is perfectly elastic.
