Answer:

The Coronavirus pandemic took the world by surprise and most people were not ready for the far reaching quarantine measures that were put in place. These measures along with the general fear of the disease meant that Consumers were demanding less of goods and services which had the effect of shifting the Short Run Demand curve to the left.

The world also saw travel restrictions put in place which were a serious blow to international commerce because suppliers found it hard to source goods. This reduced the supply of goods and services which also meant that the Short Run Aggregate Supply Curve shifted to the left as well.

The New Equilibrium led to a way lower output at Y¹ which is shows why GDP growth fell into negative.

As a result of decreased output and quarantine measures, companies could not afford to keep their employees and had to let go of a lot of them. This is why the Unemployment rate went up as well.

Alex wilson and james lawrence are discussing the high price of crude oil in the global market.​ alex, a sociology professor who
algol [13]

Answer:

Developing countries are using less oil because of substantial investments in renewable energy.

Explanation:

Solution

From the given question, the statement that would weaken James argument is that, countries that are developing are using fewer oil because of substantial investments in renewable energy.

This shows that the demand is actually higher no matter if its in growing or developing  country or a developed country and since his statement says that prices depend upon the demand, it actually supports it whereas the statement B is the only statement which is totally contradicting James statement as it doesn't talk about demand in developed country and also says that developing ones are demanding little of it.

Complete question : Alex Wilson and James Lawrence are discussing the high price of crude oil in the global market. Alex, a sociology professor who follows the financial markets closely, claims that the volume of trade in oil futures has increased indicating that speculators are responsible for the high oil prices. James, who works at an investment bank, thinks that the increase in oil prices is demand-driven. According to him, the higher price of oil reflects growing demand from developing countries.  

Which of the following, if true, would weaken James' argument?

A. A private oil drilling firm has recently discovered vast oil deposits off the coast of a remote island country.

B. Developing countries are using less oil because of substantial investments in renewable energy.

C. Per capital consumption of oil was higher in the developed countries than in the developing countries during the last year.

D. An increase in oil prices tends to accelerate inflation in growing economies.

E. Following a large oil spill, some countries have introduced new regulations for offshore oil drilling.
