• Read the economic scenario carefully and identify key problems.
• Determine whether expansionary or contractionary fiscal policy is appropriate.
• Propose two specific fiscal actions with justification.
• Evaluate possible negative side effects or long-term risks.
• Answer the deep analysis question using concepts such as the multiplier effect and the role of monetary policy.
Grade Suitability:
Best suited for Grades 11–12.
