Explanation:

• Question 5: Financial institutions offer services like savings accounts (for saving) and loans (for borrowing). Options A, B, and D are negative or incorrect. Increasing confusion (A) is not helpful. Encouraging debt accumulation (B) is not a positive function for proper finance management. Avoiding financial responsibilities (D) is wrong as managing finances involves taking responsibility.
• Question 6: The core role of financial institutions is facilitating the lending (e.g., giving out loans) and management (e.g., handling deposits, providing investment - related money management in some cases) of money. Providing investment advice (A) is a possible service but not the primary function. Offering budgeting services (B) is not a main function. Enforcing tax regulations (D) is the role of tax - related government bodies, not financial institutions.
