Beyond the Answer

When consumers and investors start to feel pessimistic about the economy, they’re likely to cut back on spending and investment. This natural reaction will lead to a decrease in aggregate demand (option 2). With people saving more and spending less, businesses see lower sales, leading them to potentially cut back on production and even jobs.
On a related note, this pessimism can create a ripple effect where reduced spending lowers overall economic growth. Companies may delay new projects or halt expansions due to uncertainty, further impacting employment rates and overall economic health. Staying optimistic and investing during downturns can be tricky but is vital for a recovering economy!
