Explanation / Answer

The correct answer for question number 33 is oligopoly. In such a market structure there are few forms and each of them play strategically. Grocery stores are usually large and sell multiple products which gives them market power.

The correct answer for question number 34 is oligopoly. The reason is that Monopoly has only one single seller and oligopoly has few sellers so for both the questions there are more than one seller but not many so there will be oligopoly market structure.

The correct answer for question number 35 is monopolistic competition. There are now many firms greater than the number of firms in question 34. When there are many firms in the market catering a large number of consumers the market structure is monopolistic competition

The correct answer for question number 36 is again oligopoly because there are only two stores in the market. It cannot be a Monopoly because Monopoly has only one seller
