Answer to Question 1

The Federal Reserve fights recessions by increasing the money supply to lower interest rates, which in turn increases spending. It is not that people will have more money to spend, but that interest rates will be lower, which stimulates spending.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE

This condition is progressive and worsens with time. More than 100 million people in the United States are nearsighted, but only 20% of those are born with the condition.
