What is the immediate effect of the Pea Blockade?

• A. No one buys peas
• B. Peas are sold at higher price
• C. Market is flooded with peas
• D. Farmers destroy crops

Answer: (A)

When a blockade blocks access to the market, the first thing that happens is that buyers and sellers can’t complete exchanges. In this scenario, that means the peas can’t be purchased right away, so no one buys peas at that moment. A blockade stops the actual buying and selling, not yet causing price shifts or crop destruction. The other outcomes would come later or under different conditions, but immediately the trade itself is halted.
