Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

By the quantity theory of money, rapid growth of the money supply (relative to the growth rate of aggregate output) causes the inflation rate to be high. When inflation is high, holding cash and non-interest bearing deposits is costly, so people shift as much money as possible into interest-bearing accounts, so the narrow monetary aggregate M1 does not grow as fast as the broader aggregate M2. By the Fisher effect, nominal interest rates rise with expected inflation, so interest-bearing accounts provide some compensation for inflation.
