Answer:

decrease and more and shift to the right side

Explanation:

  • Shen's opportunity cost of making necklaces decrease and making necklaces is now more profitable than making earrings
  • If all suppliers decide to make more earrings, then the total supply increases, which appears to shift to the right side of the supply curve (in the demand and supply graph) (the quantity supplied is greater for each price).
