Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

 Possible response points:
 all responses should address dual nature of the tradeoff--with one path leading to maximizing one benefit while sacrificing another, and the second path reversing this pattern.
 Some common responses may include the student decision to attend college. Attending college results in sacrificing immediate income earned for future earnings. Going to college early means earning less now but earning more later. Not attending college means greater earnings in one's youth, but less earning potential in the future.
 Another common response may be romantic relationships. Entering into a committed relationship provides all kinds of social security to the partners, but it sacrifices the potential to keep searching for a more interesting or attractive partner in the future. Alternately, one could keep searching and dating around but would have to sacrifice the benefits that come with a committed relationship.
