If a price is below the equilibrium price in a competitive market, then the market will push the price ________ and the quantity supplied ________.

If a price is below the equilibrium price in a competitive market, then the market will push the price **up** and the quantity supplied **up**.

This happens because at a price below equilibrium, the quantity demanded exceeds the quantity supplied, creating a shortage. To eliminate this shortage, producers will raise their prices, and as prices rise, suppliers are incentivized to increase the quantity they are willing to supply.

So the correct answer is: **Up; up**.
