Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The short-run Phillips curve shows the relationship between the inflation rate and the unemployment rate when the natural unemployment rate and the expected inflation rate do not change. The short-run Phillips curve is downward sloping, indicating that there is a tradeoff between inflation and unemployment: inflation can be lowered only at the cost of higher unemployment and unemployment can be lowered only at the cost of higher inflation.
