Answer to Question 1

You would use a one-tailed test when the sign of the variable is important. That is, if you only want to know if the independent variable has a statistically significant effect on the dependent variable, a two-tailed test should be used. If direction of effect is important, then a one-tailed test should be used.

Answer to Question 2

D
