Answer to Question 1

Increased saving implies reduced consumption, so holding of the most liquid assets, M1, should decline. Instead, people will hold more of the less liquid, interest-bearing assets within M2. If people are shifting away from illiquid assets like corporate stock in favor of assets like money market mutual fund shares, then M2 should rise.

A
