Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Both the unemployment rate and the labor force participation rate would increase. The number of unemployed would rise, as would the labor force. The unemployment rate would rise because adding the same number to the numerator and the denominator of a fraction that is less than one increases the value of the fraction. The labor force participation rate would rise because the labor force increases with no change in the working-age population.
