Answer to Question 1

The first sentence is false and the second is true. The point of the CPI is to determine how the prices of a fixed basket of goods and services change over time, so the CPI basket is revised only infrequently. However, the prices for the goods and services in the basket are collected monthly so that the CPI can be computed monthly.

Answer to Question 2

D
