Multiple choice
1. Which word comes from the greek word for “one who manages a household”?
A. Market
B. Consumer
C. Producer
D. Economy
Ans>> d pts: 1 dif: easy ref: p. 3–4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-1
The word economy comes from the greek term oikonomos, meaning “one who manages a
household.” Economics studies how households—and entire societies—manage limited
resources, making this term the foundation of the discipline.
2. From which greek word(s) is the word economy derived?
A. Environment
B. One who manages a household
C. One who participates in a market
D. Conservation
Ans>> b pts: 1 dif: easy ref: p. 3–4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-2
The greek roots oikos (household) and nomos (management or rule) combine to mean
“one who manages a household.” This reflects the idea that economics is about managing
resources wisely.
3. What do households and economies have in common?
A. They both must allocate scarce resources.
B. They both face many decisions.
C. They both must allocate the goods and services they produce.
D. They both must have a central decision maker.
Ans>> d pts: 1 dif: average ref: p. 3–4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-3
Households typically have a central decision maker (such as parents), but economies do
not necessarily have one central authority making all decisions. Instead, decisions are
often made through markets or decentralized systems, making option d the correct choice.
, 4. What concept does economics primarily deal with?
A. Scarcity
B. Poverty
C. Change
D. Power
Ans>> a pts: 1 dif: easy ref: p. 4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-4
Economics is fundamentally about scarcity, which arises because resources are limited
while human wants are unlimited. This scarcity forces individuals and societies to make
choices.
5. Which of the following is not included in the decisions that every society must make?
A. What goods will be produced
B. Who will produce the goods
C. What determines consumer preferences
D. Who will consume the goods
Ans>> c pts: 1 dif: average ref: p. 4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-5
Societies must decide what to produce, how to produce it, and who gets it. Consumer
preferences exist independently and are shaped by tastes, culture, and income—not by
societal planning decisions.
6. Why do both households and societies face many decisions?
A. Because resources are scarce
B. Because populations may increase or decrease over time
C. Because wages for households and therefore society fluctuate with business cycles
D. Because people, by nature, tend to disagree
Ans>> a pts: 1 dif: average ref: p. 4
Blm: remember not: macro tb_1-6
Scarcity means resources are limited, so choices must be made about how to use time,
money, labor, and materials. This applies to both individual households and entire
societies.
7. When is a good considered scarce in a society?
A. When more output of the good is possible
B. When everyone in that society cannot have all they want of the good
C. When the government restricts production of the good
D. When only the richest people in the economy can buy all they want of the good
