Explanation:

• Question 7: Lower tax rates mean consumers have more disposable income, which leads to more consumer spending. Public services, government programs, and the number of government employees are more related to government revenue (which is affected by tax rates but in a different way - lower tax rates usually mean less revenue for these unless there's a huge increase in economic activity).
• Question 8: The consumer price index (CPI) measures the average change over time in the prices paid by urban consumers for a market basket of consumer goods and services. So, when it rises, the cost of many goods and services has increased. The stock market, GDP, and deflation are not directly measured by the CPI.
• Question 9: The European Union's objectives of reducing tariffs, promoting a single market, and creating a common currency are all related to economic integration and cooperation. Cultural regions are about shared culture, physical regions about geographical features, and political regions about governance structures (though the EU has political aspects, the given objectives are more economic - focused).
