Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

Customers are more involved in obtaining the services they want when compared to manufactured products. Services are consumed immediately unlike products. Most often, services are provided when and where customers desire them; products are not. Services are usually labor-intensive. Services are intangible and, therefore, it is more difficult to evaluate customer satisfaction.
