Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

As long as the negative output gap persists, rising expectations of inflation will not translate into much actual inflation. However, if the output gap shrinks in absolute value as policy makers intend, nothing will insulate inflation from expectations. To avoid the critics' prediction of excessive inflation, policy makers must somehow manage expectations (and avoid allowing a positive output gap from emerging).
