Answer to Question 1

Falling housing prices led to mortgage delinquencies during 2007-2009. Many people stopped making payment for their mortgages either because they did not have money to pay or because they realized that it was not optimal to keep paying interest on a mortgage that vastly exceeded the value of the home. As a result, the number of home foreclosures increased and banks had no way of recouping the money as the foreclosed houses had to be sold at prices much below their original value.

Answer to Question 2

B
