I think #4 THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP
What or who is "they" in your answer choices?
Jobs, sorry for the confusion.
You're welcome! It looks like you have chosen option #4, which is correct. Free trade has led to the movement of more manufacturing jobs to Mexico because it increases their dependence on the U.S. economy.
To further explain, free trade allows countries to engage in international trade without significant barriers or restrictions. When there are no or minimal barriers to trade between countries, companies can take advantage of lower production costs in other countries. In the case of the U.S. and Mexico, for example, companies often move manufacturing jobs to Mexico because labor costs are generally lower there.
By increasing their dependence on the U.S. economy, Mexico becomes a favored destination for outsourcing manufacturing jobs as companies can reduce their costs and increase profitability. This is because they can take advantage of Mexico's lower labor costs, favorable regulations, and proximity to the U.S. market.
Thus, option #4 accurately explains why free trade has led to the movement of more manufacturing jobs to Mexico.
