I believe the answer is true
Iwo Jima - although not strictly a stepping stone it gave the US an airbase that was reasonably far forward and at the same time deprived the Japanese of an airbase allowing bombing raids on mainland Japan to proceed with less interference.
theres no answer choices butttt there are 3effects that explain the law of demand.
Income effect - As the price of a good increases, people purchase less quantity because they are limited by the amount of income they earn. Since it's not allowed to change, they are forced to purchase less.
Substitution effect - As the price of a good increases people purchase less quantity because they will switch to a now "relatively" cheaper substitute. The price of the substitute isn't allowed to change, so people buy more of it and less of the original.
Law of D.M.R. - As you acquire more of a good, the value of each unit decreases. Because the value is decreasing, so is the amount you are willing to pay leading to an inverse relationship between price and quantity demanded.
sorry its a long answer i dont mean to be that one person
