The second alternative is correct (B).

Slaveowners saw these people as a private good that should satisfy their wants and make a profit. Education is a tool of liberation. People with access to information have a greater capacity to defend themselves and to claim rights. In this context, it was not interesting for owners to provide any kind of education to slaves. Moreover, the time that slaves would use to learn to read would be lost during working hours. Unfortunately this was a reality that is part of our history.

If the price of copper rises, which of the following may occur?

Daniel [21]

Answer:

The correct option is B, the profits of copper produces increase

Explanation:

Assuming copper is price inelastic, meaning the rise in price would not impact the quantity demanded significantly, the revenue of the suppliers increase and as a result the bottom-line( profits) recorded by the suppliers increase.

A price increase cannot bring about reduction in quantity supplied ads increase in price is an incentive to supply more, hence option A is wrong.

Option C is totally out of context as well as option D

The government is not the one producing the copper let alone increase the content of the copper
