  4. toothpicks, because there are no direct substitutes, as there are for the rest

    at $6, quantity equals 20

    6*20=120

    probably elastic, but more elastic than the demand for automobiles.  There are direct substitutes for Hondas, but not as direct for automobiles in general.

    elastic, but more elastic than the demand for all tickets for that route.  If American's prices are too high, consumers can easily buy from another airline, but if prices in general are too high, they will have to find a different way of getting there, which will likely cost more or take more effort.
