If the government's expenditures exceeded its receipts, it would likely a. lend money to a bank or other financial intermediary. b. borrow money from a bank or other financial intermediary. c. buy bonds directly from the public. d. sell bonds directly to the public.

The correct answer is option d.

Explanation:

If the government spending or expenditures are greater than its receipts. This means that the budget is in deficit. To balance the budget the government needs to increase its earnings.

In this situation, the government is likely to sell bonds directly to the public. The public will payback directly to the government. This will cause an increase in the government's earnings.

Buying bonds will reduce the money held by the government. Lending money to banks will also reduce the government's earnings.

overview:

this is a technology-dependent lesson that students can guide at their own pace of exploration and learning. students share what they learn through the use of twitter (or alternative classroom sharing medium like todaysmeet). the use of a social sharing platform like twitter gives students a place for sharing with a wider audience, for more effective means of communication with each other, for incorporating viewpoints from all students in the classroom, and a means to reference thinking and learning by the use of a hashtag at a later time. students will understand the role the allied air forces played in the normandy invasion. teachers can use this as a stand-alone lesson or offer more structure by guiding students through each source, one by one. teachers may learn more about the eighth air force by accessing the abmc’s strategic bombing campaign interactive.
