Answer

Brief Explanations:

For the first question about neurologists' hypothesis on tau - protein and Alzheimer's, option B directly links Alzheimer's patients to an excess of NSF in their brains, which is relevant to the hypothesis. For the second question about Garber's argument that tulip mania can be explained by supply and demand, option A shows that tulips' rarity and demand - driven reproduction support the supply - demand concept.

Answer:

  1. B. Patients with Alzheimer’s disease have been found to have an excess of NSF in their brains during autopsies.
  2. A. Tulips during this period were very rare, and demand for tulips was fueled in part by the ability to reproduce and sell bulbs, enabling some purchasers to make profits.
