Answer 1

Answer:

The demand for sweaters was unexpectedly low.

Explanation:

If the inventories are rising for sweaters then we know that demand for sweaters must be falling. This is because prices are fixed, so this implies that people are buying less of the good due to a decrease in demand.  In most circumstances, this accumulation of inventories suggests that the demand for sweaters was unexpectedly low since companies try to smooth out production to minimize costs.
