Answer:

a depreciation of the dollar that leads to greater net exports.

Explanation:

The interest rate is considered "the price of money". When the interest rate is high, more dollar is demanded and appreciated, as economic agents can make a greater profit from buying US bonds (which pay interest-rate). Thus, the dollar becomes more expensive. compared to other currencies. Conversely, when the interest rate decreases, the dollar tends to depreciate against other currencies.

Exports, in turn, are associated with the value between currencies. When the dollar depreciates, it means that more dollars can be bought with the same amount of foreign currency. In terms of trade, this stimulates exports, as dollar depreciation makes American products cheaper for other countries. Consequently, the competitiveness of the American economy increases as a whole.

For example, imagine a foreign company that buys US smartphones. If the rate is 1: 1, ie 1 foreign currency unit buys 1 dollar. Now imagine the Federal Reserve lowering the interest rate by depreciating the dollar so that the new exchange rate is 1: 1.20, ie 1 foreign currency buys $ 1.20. For the foreign company it was cheaper to buy American smartphones, as the dollar depreciated against its currency. In contrast, for the US to buy (import) goods from another country is more expensive. Since the net trade balance is the difference between exports and imports, the economy tends to have a higher net export balance.

Answer: In Night, what makes the soup taste better than ever after the first hanging is that Elie and the others are still alive. They are allowed to return to their bunks and eat their daily ration of watered down soup. The actual taste does not matter. What matters in this scene is that they have survived another day. This scene also shows how inured the prisoners have become to death because it is all around them. If they were to stop and mourn each death that they witness, none of them would be able to go on. None of them would survive the camps.
