Answer 1

underproduced; nonexcludable

Step-by-step explanation:

Public goods tend to be underproduced because the provider can´t charge for it, that´s why it won´t get produced as much as a good that is charged to the user, the product becomes nonexcludable because it is impossible to charge the user for its use, since it is not possible to prevent the user from enjoying the good the solution is to underproduce it.

Answer 2

Public goods tend to be nonexcludable because the provider of the good cannot prevent someone from enjoying the good without paying for it, which means the good is nonrival. Excludable good is a property of a good which a person can be prevented from using it , while the term rivalry in consumption denotes property of a good where one persons use diminishes other peoples use.
