Decreasing government spending tends to slow economic activity as the government purchases fewer goods and services from the private sector. Increasing tax revenue tends to slow economic activity by decreasing individuals' disposable income, likely causing them to decrease spending on goods and services.
This was the missing excerpt:
<span>Neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible, and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully.

This was the missing choices:

The rhetorical device Lincoln used to emphasize that everyone has a stake in the war is C. PARALLEL STRUCTURE.
He compared the expectations and desires of both parties using the parallel structure to show that the concerns were of the same level of importance.

Moctezuma: Aztec Ruler. One, an idealised portrait painted long after Moctezuma’s death in 1519, reflects European fascination with the New World’s apparent mixture of native sophistication and savagery, showing him as the proud ruler of an exotic civilisation. Another painting, displayed towards the end of the exhibition, and similarly idealised, shows Moctezuma pledging allegiance to the conquistador Hernán Cortés, representing the Spanish crown.
“That’s the agenda, that’s the spin,” says Dr Colin McEwan, head of the museum’s Americas section, who has curated the exhibition with support from leading Mexican academics. “The suggestion is that this handing over of power was taking place voluntarily – whereas the truth is that this was a violent conquest.”
That theme of conflicting representations of the past runs through the exhibition that the museum hopes will be its winter blockbuster. It is a story of worlds in collision, of the Spanish conquest of Mexico in 1519-21, but it is also, McEwan says, an attempt to see one of history’s more enigmatic figures through the context of his own traditions and culture. It has contemporary relevance, too, as across South and Central America indigenous peoples and their concerns are increasingly contesting political agendas.
