Explain your reasoning.

Analyzing a Negative Supply Shock
An economist wants to determine the pure, initial impact of a sudden nationwide crop failure on the inflation rate. To conduct this specific type of analysis, which of the following correctly identifies the necessary assumption about the rest of the economy and the resulting conclusion?
