The correct answer is B.
If aiming to reduce inflation, the Federal reserve needs to decrease the money supply, which means reducing the amount of money in circulation in the economy. This is denominated a contractionary monetary policy.
If the money supplied decreases, the cost of borrowing (the cost of money) increases due to its increased relative scarcity. This, in turn, discourages borrowing, and produces a lower income, and a drop in demand, production, and employment. Therefore, it causes the economy to shrink as mentioned in the question.
<u>As spending drops, so do prices and therefore inflation. </u>
Such a strategy is only implemented when there are inflationary preassures, as it also brings important side effects in terms of output.

When assisting with the physical exam of a 1-year-old child, I believe that what the nurse would most possibly find something worth to be concerned about is, for example, the fact that a 1 year old child, a pre-schooler, has high levels of blood pressure.
Answer:
Seven-year-old Sam can't sit still in class and is often disruptive. His teacher has noticed that he has difficulty reading and playing with other children. She knows that his mother has a drinking problem. Sam could be displaying effects of behavioral <u><em>teratogens</em></u> that his mother ingested while he was in the womb..
Explanation:
Teratogens are a medical specialty dedicated to the study of anomalies and malformations linked to a disturbance of embryonic or fetal development. In Sam's case, the teratogens would be caused by her mother's alcohol ingesting during the gestation. This would cause Sam's problematic behavior.
Answer:
Option C:
The magma's cooling rate determines the size of crystals that are formed.
Explanation:
Once magma erupts from a volcano to the surface of the earth, it begins to cool because of the relatively cooler temperatures at the surface of the earth.
The magma usually cools down to form igneous rocks on the surface of the earth. The rate at which the magma cools down determines the size of the rock crystals that are formed.
If the magma cools slowly, there is enough time for crystal growth within the rock particles. This gives rise to larger rock crystals.
If the magma cools rapidly, there is little time for crystal growth. This leads to the presence of smaller rock crystals.
