Marginal cost curve above the average variable cost curve, is the same as the short run supply curve. In perfect competition, MC=Price. It follows that production will be at that point. Hence the supply curve is the same as that part of the MC curve which is above AVC, where the firm can cover its variable cost....this is better than shutting down.

A purely competitive firm's short-run supply curve is?

Because of the price taking nature of the firm in the perfectly competitive market. The supply curve would be the portin of the (Marginal Cost Curve) that disects the (P=Ar=Mr curves). Som from that point up would be the supply curve, to produce below that point would not be beneficial to the establishment. Up sloping and equal to the portion of the marginal cost curve that lies above the average variable cost. The demand curve is also perfectly elastic, this too contributes to the fact.
