Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

When the economy is in a recession, the Fed surely wants to increase aggregate demand and hence GDP, but raising the federal funds rate is the wrong policy. A boost in the federal funds rate decreases consumption expenditure, investment, and net exports and therefore decreases aggregate demand. The proper policy for the Fed to pursue is a cut in the federal funds rate.
