Answer 1

A) keeps track of money that is earned and spent

Step-by-step explanation:

A budget is a system that keeps track of money that is earned and spent. This is what a budget is.

Answer 2

A.

keeps track of money that is earned and spent

Step-by-step explanation:

B.

helps people make more money is incorrect, because a budget is not always a good thing- I can budget 7 million dollars for a new house, but that doesn't necessarily change the fact I won't be able to pay it off ever.

C.

moves money from a checking account to a savings account-

this is not always the case, and a budget itself won't move the money, but this may be an aspect of a budget.

D.

helps automatically pay bills-

It helps pay bills, just not automatically.

Therefore, by the process of elimination, the answer is A.
