Assistant: Sure! Here are extensive answers to your questions using the provided expressions:

1. **Why must people make choices about what they want most? What does each choice involve?**
   I assume that people must make choices about what they want most because resources are limited while human wants are virtually unlimited. Each choice involves a trade-off, meaning that selecting one option often requires giving up another. This decision-making process is essential for prioritizing needs and desires, ensuring that individuals allocate their resources effectively to achieve the best possible outcomes.

2. **What is the link between economic choice and opportunity cost?**
   To my mind, the link between economic choice and opportunity cost is fundamental. Every time a choice is made, the opportunity cost represents the value of the next best alternative that is forgone. This concept emphasizes the importance of considering what is sacrificed when making a decision, as it helps individuals and societies evaluate the true cost of their choices.

3. **In what terms are the production costs counted?**
   There is no doubt that production costs are counted in terms of both explicit and implicit costs. Explicit costs are direct, out-of-pocket expenses, while implicit costs represent the opportunity costs of using resources in one way rather than another. Together, these costs provide a comprehensive view of the financial implications of production decisions.

4. **What must people have knowledge of to make choices that best satisfy human wants?**
   True enough, people must have knowledge of their preferences, available resources, and the potential consequences of their choices to make decisions that best satisfy human wants. This knowledge enables individuals to weigh options effectively and select alternatives that align with their values and goals.

5. **Why are economic choices necessary?**
   Briefly, economic choices are necessary because they allow individuals and societies to allocate scarce resources efficiently. Given the limitations of resources, making informed choices ensures that needs and wants are met in a way that maximizes overall satisfaction and utility.

6. **What is the difference between real costs and opportunity costs?**
   That goes without saying, the difference between real costs and opportunity costs lies in their definitions. Real costs refer to the actual monetary expenses incurred in the production of goods or services, while opportunity costs represent the value of the best alternative that is sacrificed when a choice is made. Understanding both concepts is crucial for effective decision-making.

7. **Why is it important for society to be aware of trade-offs when making economic choices?**
   It seems to me there can be no two opinions
