8. Suppose you own a furniture store. You place an order for tables with Highvally furniture, but are told that you cannot carry the tables unless you also carry their line of sofas. Highvally might be in violation of the: Clayton Act for attempting to establish a tying contract.

   This is just a matter of remembering the meaning of a "tying contract" and that it is the Clayton Act which specifically addresses this behavior. The question is written "might" be in violation because the illegality of tying contracts is typically decided according to the rule of reason.
