Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

If actual inflation is 4, a 4 increase in wages will allow workers to maintain their real wage. However, if inflation is lower than expected (2 instead of 4), the 4 increase in wages will increase the real wage, and firms will hire fewer workers than they had planned. As a result, unemployment will rise.
