Answer to Question 1

D

Answer to Question 2

Cost-push inflation cannot persist without repeated increases in AD to counter declines in output. Constrained by the Taylor rule, monetary policy must tighten as the inflation rate rises, even when that means an increase in the (absolute value of the) output gap. Moreover, public knowledge of the central bank's commitment to an inflation target causes upward shifts of the aggregate supply curve to be relatively infrequent and small.
