Answer to Question 1

A

Answer to Question 2

The economy is defined as being an expansion when real GDP is increasing and in a recession when real GDP decreases for at least two consecutive quarters. Between expansion and recession the economy reaches a peak defined as a local maximum in the level of real GDP. A trough is the opposite of a peak where real GDP hits a local minimum as the economy goes from being in a recession to being in an expansion.
