#26 - When the manufacturers in a given country are slower

[Jeremy Press]

Hi Lety,

Sure! Note as I'm diagramming these answers that, if the answer's language echoes the stimulus, then I'm following the same diagramming "conventions" that were given in the original post. So refer back to that original post to see the Mistaken Reversal or Mistaken Negation aspect of some of these answers more clearly.

Answer Choice A: Don't diagram. It's a cause/effect assertion about what is motivating manufacturers to do something (they raise prices BECAUSE OF squeezing out foreign competitors). There are no cause/effect assertions about why a manufacturer does something in the stimulus, so this answer is wrong.

Answer Choice B: Squeezed out of market Slower to adopt new technology

Answer Choice C: Production costs fall more slowly than competitors Competitor adopted new technology

Answer Choice D: Slower to adopt new technology Squeezed out of market

Answer Choice E: Unable to lower prices as rapidly Slower to adopt new technology
