5. In the famous 1980 wager between biologist Paul Ehrlich and economist Julian Simon a bet was placed on the future price of five metalschromium, copper, nickel, tin, and tungsten. The bet sought to test two competing visions of the futures. Ehrlich thought rising prices would prove that an overpopulated world was headed toward disastrous scarcity and famine given the increasing consumption of limited non-renewal resources. Simon thought falling prices would show that human ingenuity would make resources cheaper and more widely available through markets and technological innovation. Simon won the bet as between 1980 and 1990, despite an increase in population of 800 million, the price of the metals dropped by about 50%. Since the bet, there have been many 10-year periods where Ehrlich would have won i.e. prices have risen.

What two assumptions, from the following, did Ehrlich fail to consider that led to his loss?

Group of answer choices

The five metals were removed from the global production and consumption supply chain.

Substitution of the metals in the production and supply chain when their price became economically untenable.

Rapid technological advancement during the decade in question that led to the more efficient extraction of metals.

Non-renewal resources will never be exhausted by human consumption.
