• the government spends large amounts of money to jumpstart the economy.
• the government establishes a minimum limit for selling an item to protect those in that industry.
• the government establishes a maximum price for selling an item to protect the consumer.

government actions (top): reduce regulations, stimulus package, price ceiling, price floor

Explanation:

1. "The government spends large amounts of money to jumpstart the economy" matches with "stimulus package" (as a stimulus package involves government spending to boost the economy).
2. "The government establishes a minimum limit for selling an item to protect those in that industry" matches with "price floor" (a price floor is a minimum price set by the government, often to protect producers).
3. "The government establishes a maximum price for selling an item to protect the consumer" matches with "price ceiling" (a price ceiling is a maximum price set by the government, often to protect consumers from high prices).
4. "The government changes expectations for corporations to allow them more flexibility in how they make a profit" matches with "reduce regulations" (reducing regulations gives corporations more flexibility in their operations and profit - making).

Answer:

• "The government spends large amounts of money to jumpstart the economy" → "stimulus package"
• "The government establishes a minimum limit for selling an item to protect those in that industry" → "price floor"
• "The government establishes a maximum price for selling an item to protect the consumer" → "price ceiling"
• "The government changes expectations for corporations to allow them more flexibility in how they make a profit" → "reduce regulations"
