Answer #1:

<h2>a. raising interest rates to curb inflation</h2>

Answer #2:

<h2>a. increased inflation</h2>

Explanation:

The Reagan administration came into office with major economic problems to deal with in the United States.  It wasn't specifically President Reagan that raised interest rates; doing so is the job of the Federal Reserve.  But it was under President Reagan's watch that the raising of interest rates was pursued as a way of trying to control inflation.  As summarized by Zelkadis Elvi, writing an article for Yahoo Finance (November 22, 2013):  "In the early 1980s, the Federal Reserve was waging a war with inflation. In an effort to tame double-digit inflation, the central bank drove interest rates higher."  One of the results of the Feds moves to raise interest rates was that home ownership became more difficult.  Mortgage rates eventually reached over 18%.  But the economy did improve.

Another tool used in the Reagan years to deal with economic struggle was the the Economic Recovery Tax Act of 1981.  Tax rates were cut significantly in an effort to spur economic activity.

Answer:

Wherever Europeans have gone, they have brought the word of the Gospel, Economic prosperity, political freedom and an advanced way of life. We have been able to educated wild and barbarians of Africa and India and there is no indication of why we cannot replicate the success in a country like China.

They do not have any democratic government, the worship false gods, they need a savior and they need our help to improve the condition of the poor and needy.
