Answer
# Brief Explanations:
For question 23, a budget surplus means the government has extra funds which can be used for debt - reduction or investment. Higher inflation is not a typical result of a budget surplus. A budget surplus reduces national debt, not increases it, and there is no automatic link to lower unemployment.
For question 24, private education is often more expensive as it relies on tuition fees rather than public funding. It is excludable (only those who pay can access), not publicly funded, and does not benefit all students equally.
