Laura was in charge of purchasing food for the next book club meeting. She usually ordered sandwiches from
the nearby deli, but the price of sandwiches had increased. One option for food was ordering pizza, which was

sandwiches is known in economic terms as ________.
a budget constraint
a change in income
the income effect
the substitution effect
