Answer:
A) They would disagree with the protesters because these practices will help make both rich and poor countries richer.
Explanation:
Free trade and foreign direct investments should make increase the wealth of both poor countries and rich countries. This rarely happens due to one main problem, corruption in poor countries. A lot of people are angry at foreign multinational corporations that have excessive powers on poor countries and they also earn extremely high profits, but it is not only the fault of the multinationals, it is also the fault of the poor countries' leaders.
No corporation can simply go to another country and claim everything for themselves, ti doesn't work like that. Generally corporations have very deep pockets and they simply bribe a president, a secretary of something, a few more people including congressmen and magically they purchase the purchase assets at below market prices. This repeats again and again everywhere around the world, with a very few exceptions.
For example, Ireland was extremely poor and when it joined the European Union it decided to host several multinationals and it has turned into a developed country since then. Chile is another successful story, and it was a dictator that opened Chilean economy to foreign investment.
The problem with most poor countries is that their corrupt leaders benefit themselves and not the country.

Answer:
The answer is: C) The minimum price sellers are willing to accept to sell an extra unit of a good.
Explanation:
A normal supply curve should move upward from left to right. The expresses the Law of Supply: (given that all other factors remain without change) As the price of a product increases, the quantity supplied should also increase.
For example:
An ounce of gold costs right now $1,500 and 100 ounces of gold are being traded right now at that price. If a new buyer comes in and wants to buy the 101th ounce of gold, then following a normal supply curve, the new buyer would need to pay more for that extra ounce of gold, maybe $1,510.
What the supply curve shows us is that given a certain price Y, a company will be willing to sell X amount of goods. The more demand a product has (X + 1) > X, then the price Y will increase until a new balance is found.
