Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

Labor productivity is real GDP per hour of labor, so it equals (real GDP)  (aggregate hours). The expansion of human capital and the discovery of new technology are two factors that increase labor productivity. Increasing human capital increases labor productivity because workers' skills and knowledge increase, which allows them to produce more goods and services without boosting aggregate hours. Similarly, the discovery and use of new technologies allows workers to produce more goods and services without increasing aggregate hours.
