Answer to Question 1

C

Answer to Question 2

In a closed economy, GDP consists of consumer spending, investment spending and government purchases. If we consider the economy to be at full employment, then GDP is considered fixed. If government spending increases, other components of the fixed GDP must decrease. In this sense, increased government spending reduces, or crowds out other components of GDPinvestment spending and/or consumer spending.
