Answer 2

Answer: Potential competition would not limit the power of monopolies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The potential competition would not limit the power of a monopoly. In the case of monopoly there is no competition. There is the only single seller selling the product. No other firm can enter the industry. That is why the monopoly exits.

The Monopolist can easily prevent the competition as no other firm sells the same product. Monopolist sells unique products that cannot be copied. Uniqueness is the biggest advantage of monopoly.
