The correct answer to number 1 is to outcompete rival businesses.

By lowering prices, Standard Oil Company ensured that citizens and other companies bought their product. This resulted in decreased competition, as other businesses could not compete with their low prices.

The correct answer to number 2 is D) Individual business owners set prices to compete for businesses.

A free market economy is one in which there is little government interference in terms of setting prices. Rather, the "invisble hand" (aka competition) between businesses helps to determine what the actual price will be for the consumers.

The correct answer to number 3 is A)They formed monopolies or trusts.

Monopolies and trusts are when an individual or multiple companies work together to corner a specific market. This results in a drastic decrease of competition, allowing for the monopoly or trust to set whatever price they want for a good or service.

Marizza181 [45]

Explanation:

The behavior in a crowd which is dictated by the circumstances is called as the collective behavior, in which a person behaves according to the circumstances even if he or she is not willing to do that personally.

Yes i can remember a situation where i got stuck in a similar scenario. I was with my friends in the university after the classes in the executive hall, when a flash mob enters the hall and asked for raising the money for charity to help poor children with their studies. I personally didn't want to pay them a penny because i knew them well and i knew that they would not give a single penny in the charity for children studies. But i had to help them and give them money because of the circumstance over there, because they were yelling, forcing people, blackmailing people on the name of religion and helping poor, and because of this, i had to help them.

This was the time i was so dictated by the circumstances.

Fantom [35]
The correct answer here is: "at large", as in "at large election" - option C.

An election "at large" refers to an election that chooses representatives to represent the whole body - rather than just a part of this body, as as a district.

The opposite is voting by electoral districts.
