Solution

The correct answer is "elastic; greater".

Here's why:

  1. The demand curve of a monopolist is typically downward sloping. This means that as the price decreases, the quantity demanded increases.

  2. The elastic section of the demand curve is where a decrease in price leads to a proportionally larger increase in quantity demanded. This results in an increase in total revenue for the monopolist.

  3. Therefore, a monopolist would want the price-quantity combination to fall in the elastic section of its demand curve, where a lower price means greater total revenue.

So, the answer is "elastic; greater".
