Answer:

2. the reaction will shift to the left

Explanation:

Hello,

By means of the Le Chatelier's principle, when adding a product, the inverse reaction is favored as the products are now considered as reactants, thus, since magnesium oxide is a product for the given chemical reaction, and in addition, it is being added, the equilibrium will shift leftwards, thus, the answer is:

2. the reaction will shift to the left

Best regards.
