Answer:

raise interest rates

Explanation:

Inflation is the continuous and widespread rise in the prices of goods and services in an economy. This is a monetary phenomenon, caused by the excess of currency in circulation in the economy. When demand is very hot and money circulates faster, prices tend to rise, causing inflation. Rising inflation decreases the purchasing power of money, as with each inflationary process, more money will be needed to buy the same good.

The agency responsible for controlling inflation is the Federal Reserve, which has monetary policy as a tool for inflationary containment. Anti-inflationary monetary policy can occur in two ways. The main one is the interest rate increase, which aims to discourage consumption and stimulate investments. When interest rates rise, economic agents have an incentive to save. As a result, consumption decreases and the inflation rate decreases. Another way to curb inflation is by reducing the amount of paper money in circulation. This is done by selling government bonds. Thus, when the Fed sells bonds, it withdraws outstanding money from the economy, reducing economic transactions and consumption.

Naddika [18.5K]

The correct answer is 1) Soviet influences spread across Eastern Europe sharply during and after World War II.

It is clear that socialism in the eastern part of Europe became much more popular and at the time seen as an ideological system victorious over extreme right national socialism (under the flags of Nazi Germany, Italy). In so, the intrinsic dynamic of Soviet socialism was another form of conquest. Soviet influences expanded regaining the territories that were previously invaded by Germany or other powers (in the case of Baltic states). The reasons were not only based the military results by that time (1945-1948) but by the notion that socialism was a new and more efficient way of settling issues in the European and capitalist world, thereby causing the empathy from some neighbour states and also expanding with the introduction of "puppet states" loyal to the Soviet Union.

Examples of this were: the government created in Poland, Checoslovakia or some other socialist republics.

Which of the following statements is true?
posledela

Answer:

During and after exercise our body releases a chemical called endorphin. This chemical interacts with the receptors in our brain and makes our perception of pain become reduced. Besides the reduction of pain, it also boosts mood and makes us feel energized and happy. That is why exercise helps with a lot of mental illnesses but unfortunately, many illnesses make us unmotivated to exercise regularly.
