Answer: a
Aggregate demand (AD) for a closed economy is the sum total of consumption expenses (C), investment spending (I), and government spending (G); [AD = C + I + G]. The curve is downward slopping from left to right, since it has the inverse relationship with the price level. Reduction of taxes increases the purchasing power of people, although the price remains the same; it increases the money supply in the market, which tends to shift the curve to the right.
2.
Answer: d
AD indicates economic growth; if it shifts to the right there is a economic growth. At the same time the long run aggregate supply curve (LRAS) shifts left, which means lower supply to fulfill the additional demand; it creates inflation, since demand is higher than supply.
