## Step 1The first statement is about the demand for a good or service when there are fewer substitutes available. In economics, when a good or service has fewer substitutes, it is considered inelastic. This means that the demand for it does not change significantly with changes in price.## Step 2The second statement is about the demand for a good when the proportion of income spent on it is small. In this case, the demand is also considered inelastic. This is because the demand for goods that take up a small proportion of income is less sensitive to changes in price.## Step 3The third statement is about the demand for a good over time after a price change. In the short term, demand is generally considered inelastic. This is because consumers do not have enough time to adjust their consumption habits in response to a price change.
