,Your answer is correct. To answer this type of question, you must use a chain of events. When a contractionary monetary
policy is applied, the interest rate increases to cool down economic activity by decreasing the demand for goods.
An expansionary fiscal policy means that government spending has to be increased and/or taxes have to be
decreased. We use the example of an increase in government spending by increasing the demand for goods.
The chain of events will look as follows:

to the right.
