Question 12 • 25-26 SS AISD World Geography Studies B-CR

Which of the following situations is an example of how culture affects supply, demand, and consumption?

Answer

Grocers in Arizona and Texas stock a large supply of Mexican products, while grocers in New York stock many kosher products.

Beef is extremely cheap in the US, where it is consumed often, but it is extremely expensive in Japan, where it is consumed less.

Rice is a common staple in Asia, while potatoes are a common staple in America.

Lobster and caviar are easily affordable in some neighborhoods, while hotdogs and coleslaw are easily affordable in others.

Explanation

Culture shapes what people want to buy and eat, so it influences what stores stock. Grocers in Arizona and Texas stock Mexican products to serve communities with Mexican cultural influences, while New York grocers stock kosher products to serve Jewish dietary practices. The other choices describe differences in consumption or affordability but do not show as directly how culture affects store supply.
