The question asks for Harry's marginal cost of tennis at two different weekly hours (5 hours and 7 hours) based on a PPF graph. To determine marginal cost from a PPF, you need the slope of the trade-off between tennis hours and economics grade (i.e., how much economics grade must be given up per additional hour of tennis). This requires specific coordinates from the PPF or a clearly labeled slope.

Option analysis (given none of the traditional answer choices are provided in the prompt):
- Since the prompt does not include the actual PPF values or a readable graph with labeled axes to extract a slope, we cannot compute the exact marginal cost for either 5 hours or 7 hours. Absent those numbers, any numeric MCC (marginal cost of tennis) would be guesswork rather than calculation based on data.

Why “insufficient information” is the appropriate determination here:
- To compute the marginal cost at a specific tennis-hours point, you need the opportunity cost of producing one more hour of tennis, which comes from the slope of the PPF between the relevant points. Without the coordinates or a readable slope, the calculation is not possible.
- The graph snippet in the prompt appears garbled or incomplete (e.g., misaligned axes or unreadable tick marks), so you cannot reliably read off any slope or identify the exact change in economics grade when moving from 5 to 7 tennis hours per week.

If you had the graph, the steps would be:
- Identify the two points around the relevant interval (e.g., from 5 to 7 tennis hours).>
- Read the corresponding economics grade values at those hours from the PPF.
- Compute the change in economics grade divided by the change in tennis hours: MCC = ΔEconomicsGrade / ΔTennisHours.
- Since ΔTennisHours = 2 hours in this case, MCC would be the drop in economics grade per additional 2 hours of tennis, expressed as percentage points per hour if you want per-hour MCC.

Practical note on the provided answers:
- The two identical strings “insufficient information” suggest the intended response for both Part 1 and Part 2 is that the data needed to compute the marginal costs are not available from the text as given. If those were indeed the only viable answers, they correctly reflect the lack of usable data.

Summary:
- Without readable PPF coordinates or a clear slope, you cannot determine the marginal cost values for 5 or 7 hours of tennis. Therefore, asserting insolation information is appropriate; any numeric MCC values would be speculative. Ensure you have a properly labeled graph or the exact coordinate points to perform the slope calculation.
