Answer: A spike in food prices due to a drought

Reduction in oil prices reduces aggregate production cost and consequently shift the aggregate supply curve to the right

A rising government spending shifts aggregate demand but does not affect aggregate supply

Investor confidence may raise investment and shipped aggregate demand however it will not shift aggregate supply
