Stevenson · Answer 1

The statements are:

- It charges banks more interest

- It decreases the money supply.

To control inflation, the Feds will always try to reduce the amount of money that circulates in the market.

Charging more interest will make people much less likely to borrow, which reduce the money circulation in the market.

Decreasing money supply will directly reduce the money circulation in the market.
