With regards the Kinked demand curve theory given by Paul Sweezy, answer the following:

(i) What does the kinked demand curve model of oligopoly assumes about the price elasticity
 of demand? 
(ii) Comment upon the discontinuous shape of the Marginal revenue curve under this model. 

The kinked demand curve model of oligopoly, developed by Paul Sweezy, is a theoretical framework that attempts to explain the behavior and pricing decisions of firms operating in an oligopolistic market structure. In this model, firms assume that their competitors will not match price decreases but will match price increases. This assumption leads to a kink in the demand curve, resulting in a discontinuous shape of the marginal revenue curve.

(i) The kinked demand curve model assumes that the price elasticity of demand is different in the upper and lower portions of the demand curve. In the upper portion of the curve, the demand is relatively elastic, and consumers are more responsive _______ _____ _________ __________ _____ ___.
