Which of the seven features of a purely competitive market are not present in an oligopoly?

Please provide the best answer for the statement.


Answer: In an oligopoly market, the market is shared by a relatively small number of large firms that can work together to exercise some influence on prices. The second missing feature is that sellers cannot easily enter the market. As with monopoly markets, barriers to entry may be due to the high costs of starting a business in that industry, may be the result of long-term contracts that have committed all buyers to firms already in the industry, or may be due to enduring loyalties created by brand-name advertising.

Given the following position on euthanasia (doctor-assisted suicide), identify which of the three major ethical theories discussed in the text-utilitarianism, duty theory, or virtue ethics-it follows. Note that each theory may encompass several possible viewpoints on an issue.Active euthanasia should be legalized. After all, what are the overall consequences in terms of happiness or unhappiness? Euthanasia may not make the patient who wants to die happy, but at least it can end his or her misery. And although the relatives may feel unhappy at the assisted suicide, they too have suffered, and they will grieve whether the patient dies assisted or unassisted. As a matter of fact, they may grieve less if they know the patient has been spared a substantial amount of suffering.
