A. Nicholas: "If Brazil is hit hard by such a severe freeze that half of its crop is wiped out, then the price of coffee will probably rise."
B. Kendra: "If the price of caffeinated soft drinks such as Mountain Dew went down, then consumer demand for coffee would go down since they're substitutes for each other."
C. Sergei: "If the demand for coffee were to increase, then I would expect the price to rise, which would then cause the demand to fall back down to its original position."
D. Tasha: "If coffee drinkers expect the price of coffee to rise next month, then current demand will go up and lead to a price increase this month."
