Answer to Question 1

TRUE

Answer to Question 2

The large government budget deficits lead to the massive increases in the money supply necessary to generate the hyperinflation. The public, especially in the developing world, will not buy the government bonds necessary to finance the large budget deficits. The central bank has had to purchase the government bonds, which has sent the money supply through the roof, leading to hyperinflation.
