Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

The monetary policy curve will have been relatively low, as policy makers kept interest rates as low as possible to hasten recovery from the recession. Once the recession is over, the monetary policy curve will shift up, since low interest rates are no longer appropriate, and to reduce the danger that spending will climb too rapidly and cause inflation to rise. The curve may become steeper, as well, so that any increases in inflation are countered by substantial increases in the real interest rate.
