Answers to explanation questions Question 1, 2, 3, and 5 can always be found in your textbooks, notes or on google. The answers are right there for you to copy.
Example for question 5 on price elasticity of demand:

Btw, it should be Ceteris Paribus. And i cannot imagine someone who is doing econs doesn't know this. There is google as stated. otherwise, it means "all things remain the same or equal" -
Seriously, if you read your book and find that you don't understand so many terms, maybe it's time you switch your course.

The theory is not hard from the notes. What I guess is that you have problems in the techniques of answering such questions.
Basically, you take materials from the notes, and apply case studies, to support the points.
Example: Explain price elasticity of demand. (Q5 part i)
You can start off by defining what is price elasticity of demand. Then draw some graphs and illustrate the point. Raise a case study. Use the graph and concepts, together with the case study, and explain your points out on what happen. I.e. when P goes up, Q goes up more proprotionately.
Basically, it's almost regurgitating from notes + using case studies and applying it.
Ideally, for this part alone, you should be writing about 3/4 to 1 full side, with a big proportion of the space for your graph. Your graph should be large. Don't draw it too small.
You can visit the stickies, under useful resources. There should be a link to some RJC model Economics essays to take a look and understand the how-to of answering essay questions.

From the fact that you used the word "module", I guess it is safe enough to assume you are a poly or uni student.
I strongly suggest you to save your parents' money and drop out and take another course. If you don't even know why you are studying, and have so many problems with basic stuffs, there should be no reason for you to be even in the course.
I apologise here if I sound nasty, but as a teacher, I don't want students to foolishly take up courses just because "I was given this choice". You will regret it, as you will not work as hard as others due to a lack of passion for the course. You may deny it, but if you were to work hard, you wouldn't be asking us here about stuffs which you are meant to read up on your own.

The trouble dear, is that these questions are definition-based questions, without any analysis needed. If they do need any measure of analytical skill then fine, I don't think the other posters would be quite so harsh. But these are really easy, definition questions that you can easily google or flip a text book for. I don't think that econs is not your cup of tea. I just think you need to try harder.

Don't bother about him liao.Everyone here has told him the same thing, that what he posted are basic stuffs liao, and that he should at the very least google for the answers, but he kept pestering us to spoonfeed him, I really don't know what to say...

It's a duh
It's the same question as
Explain the following terms:
- lazy
- unwilling to work
- waiting to be spoonfedGoogle! Search! Wiki will already spoonfeed you the answer.
I really don't see how such questions cannot be understood. It's simple basic primary/secondary school way of asking you to explain and define basic terms.
And I have already given you the source where you can download RJC economic essays to take a look. Have you gone there and look? Some of these questions are answered there too.
At Homework Forum, we help students who are willing to learn and try out, students who are stuck in understanding concepts, not students who are waiting to be spoonfed on basic definition of terms and giving excuses why they cannot find the answers themselves.
Honestly, the following excuse is not what you should have given:
i know, but if i dont understand...
google cant do...LOL...maybe now i need to find my brain cell 1st, then i can understand them...
To score, you first have to take responsibility for yourself. I don't see that in you. You are still floundering around even though I have given you hints and guided you on how to go about doing it. Don't understand what I said, ask. Not give excuses.
Apologise if I sounded harsh, but my opinion is, if you want to score, be it in life or in school, you have to work hard for it.

What is inflation ?
All notes, textbooks and google it will give you three key words ie inordinate, sustained general increase in the price level.
Next, the notes, textbooks, google it will explain their meanings ie inordinate ie excessive (not 0.1% increase), sustained ie over a period of time, general ie not due to only one or two but most.
Hence, inflation is defined as the inordinate, sustained, general increase in the price level (The definition of inflation as too much money chasing too few goods will only be partially correct).
In simple terms, inflation refers to the excessive increase in prices of most goods and services over a period of time usually over a year.
Next, you just have to ask yourself why prices of most goods and services will increase. The reasons for these prices to increase will be the causes of inflation lah.
So, it is not so difficult to answer the economic questions.
You just have to ask yourself what you read, have you understood them, if not, which part you do not understand, are the words or terms that you do not understand, check up the meanings on an economic dictionary or google it, summarize what you have read as you read.
Indeed, you can use the SQ3R method to study ie survey, question, read, recite and revise.
