Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

If the unemployment rate is constant at 4 percent per year, the inflation rate should remain constant, as shown in the graph below (as long as the unemployment rate is 4 percent, the inflation rate does not change). If the unemployment rate rises to 7 percent, then the Phillips curve would predict that the inflation rate will be lower than it was when unemployment was 4 percent.
