Answer:

E) marginal; marginal

Explanation:

The diamond-water paradox is also known as the "paradox of value".

                 In this paradox it is argued that water which is an essential thing for human survival and is so important to human, is offered no value in the market. Whereas diamond which is just a precious stone and is not an essential thing in human's life is valued so much and has great value in the market than water.

                 So the diamond-water paradox provides the solution that those things having high values in usage have low prices in the market because they are consumed at low marginal utility. And those things which have low value in usage sometimes have high prices in the market because they are consumed at high marginal utility.

Hence he answer is

E) marginal; marginal

Which two commodities seem most important to the trans-Saharan trade
chubhunter [2.5K]
In Sub - Saharan trade, gold , salt and slaves were the most important commodities.
Gold came from Bambuk in the valley of the Senegal where there was a lot of alluvial gold. Rock salt came from areas in the Sahara which were once covered by inland seas. Its extraction, in large blocks under the blazing sun, was appalling work carried out by slaves.
Slaves mainly came from around the region of Lake Chad, where the Zaghawa tribes made a habit of raiding their neighbors and selling them to  Arab purchasers in the north.
Other important commodities were cola nuts, dates, copper and brass.
