Answer to Question 1

The immediate result of the doubling of the money supply in the reserve currency's country will be able to increase the exchange rate between the reserve currency and all other currencies. However, all other countries must fix their exchange rate to the reserve currency, so they will purchase the reserve currency and hold it as official international reserves (thus increase their own money supply) until the exchange rate has returned to normal. Thus, the reserve country has the power to affect its own economy and all other countries must adjust in response.

Answer to Question 2

D

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.
