<h3>
Answer: A. competition among producers</h3>
==========================================================
Explanation:
Competition reduces prices while also increasing the quality of the product or service. Companies that don't do such things will likely be out of business since the customer can go elsewhere for a better experience. The more competition, the better consumers are off.
In contrast, monopolies are bad for consumers because one company can set the price to whatever they want (to a certain level of course) and the customer has no choice to pay that price. The customer does not have any other option so the company is in full control. This leads to decline in quality because quality is often associated with cost. Safety standards may decline as well. So this is why monopolies are not good for the customer. In cases where there are monopolies, such as with power utilities, it is strongly advised that government regulations are put in place. This way the company doesn't completely exploit the customer.
In short, we can eliminate choice D because it runs counter to choice A.
Choice C can also be eliminated because if you had a decrease in supply, then the price of the product is likely to go up if you hold other factors in check (such as keeping the same level of demand). Higher prices do not benefit consumers unless those consumers had an equal or better wage increase.
A raise in interest rates means that it becomes more expensive to borrow money. For example, a raise in interest rates means that mortgage rates go higher. This negative is slightly counterbalanced with the fact that savings accounts interest rates go up as well. Overall, I think a rise in interest rates means that consumers ultimately pay more, so we can cross choice B off the list as well.
Answer:
C. It conveys southerners’ hatred of abolitionists, demonstrating that ending slavery was a threat to the southerners’ way of life.
Explanation:
The text you are referring to is an article with several criticisms of abolitionism and those who defended it. The article stated how abolitionists were being irrational and petty about the way of life and the slave system present in southern states. The text expresses how, by an act of envy, the abolitionists wished to exterminate the southern way of life, reducing their supremacy and control and ending the good customs of the Confederate citizens. In summary, the text directly expressed the southerners 'hatred of abolitionists, demonstrating that ending slavery was a threat to the southerners' way of life.

Answer:
The correct answer would be option A, Pre conventional Morality.
Explanation:
Pre conventional morality is a process of moral development. Pre conventional morality is concerned with the distinction and divergence between right and wrong.
There are two stages of pre conventional morality. In the first stage, Obedience and punishment are there, whereas the second stage is about the Self Interest.
The first stage in which the children are concerned with the obedience and punishment, the children try to be obedient and behave in a way that they don't get punished. The children before the age of 5 years fall under this stage. The other stage starts from the year 5 and ranges up to 9 years of age.
So Henry is four years old and he disapproves of stealing jelly beans from his sister's easter basket because he thinks his mother will spank him if he does. It means henry is afraid of the punishment and he tries to be obedient, which means he is practicing the first stage of Pre conventional morality.
