Answer to Question 1

Both imports and taxes make the expenditure multiplier smaller. When the marginal propensity to import is larger, more of the induced consumption expenditure goes towards foreign goods, which have no effect on domestic production or income. When the tax rate is higher, more of the induced change in income goes towards taxes, leaving less available for spending.

Answer to Question 2

D
