A
The recessionary gap will create upward pressure on prices, shifting the aggregate demand curve to the left.
B
The existence of cyclical unemployment will increase consumption spending and increase real output.
C
Full-employment output will fall to equal the short-run equilibrium real output.
D
Nominal wages will fall, shifting the short-run aggregate supply curve to the right.
E
Input prices will increase as firms compete for labor and capital.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Equilibrium Levels of Price and Output in the Short Run The first reduces short-run aggregate supply; the second increases aggregate demand. Both events change equilibrium real GDP and the price level in the short run.

Detailed explanation-2: -If current real GDP is less than full employment output, an economy is in a recession.

Detailed explanation-3: -If an economy is in short-run equilibrium such that the level of output is greater than the potential output, then this means that: after some time, nominal wages will rise.

Detailed explanation-4: -If an economy is operating at an output level below its potential output level, holding everything else constant, one would expect in the long run: nominal wages to fall.
