Answer to Question 1

E

Answer to Question 2

S - I = CA (Current Account Identity)
Imagine that a country is running a current account deficit (i.e. borrowing from abroad) a certain amount of its GNP when foreign lenders suddenly become scared of default and cut off all new loans. This action causes the current account balance to be at least 0 due to either a rise in saving or a fall in investment (or a combination of both). The required sharp fall in aggregate demand necessarily depresses the country's output dramatically.
