Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

When tax revenues are not sufficient to pay the federal government's bills, the Treasury borrows the necessary funds. The Treasury would need to borrow more than it estimated if the federal budget deficit is larger than was estimated. The Treasury would repay borrowed funds if the federal budget is in surplus, and it is repaying the investors who had bought its bonds.
