b) The world supply curve for crude oil will shift to the left (because prices of crude oil will now increase, and the firms will supply lower at the same price).
c) U.S demand curve for crude oil will stay the same
d) U.S. supply.curve for crude oil will shift to the left
e) World crude oil prices will change little
f) U.S. crude oil pricea will rise
g) World oil consumption will change little
h) U.S. crude oik consumption will fall
