Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The classical economists accepted Say's law, which indicated that desired expenditures will equal actual expenditures. The act of producing indicates one wants to buy other goods. A surplus or shortage in one market would soon be corrected because prices and wages were assumed to be flexible, and they assumed people could not be fooled by money illusion. They also assumed pure competition and that people were motivated by self-interest. Combining all these ideas, they concluded that full employment would be the norm.
