How might specialization encourage trade?



A) One nation will sell its specialty to others ONLY if they don't compete.


B) Nations stop using products from other nations to support their own economies.


C) Nations agree to work together as a team to make it easier for them to manufacture expensive items.


D) One nation will focus resources on its specialty, forcing it to buy other products from other nations.
Eliminate
I think B correct?

so c?

No please pick one I choose c correct

I personally would pick D

It asked what HELPS trade, not what stops it !

Wait a minute. I missed that word "eliminate"

Indeed eliminate B. It does the opposite off encourage trade.

If you are supposed to eliminate one, eliminate B. It makes no sense at all.

Okay I eliminated B&D so know I have A and C

But you said eliminate, not pick.

To determine the correct answer and understand why specialization encourages trade, we can evaluate each option given in the question.

A) One nation will sell its specialty to others ONLY if they don't compete.
This option implies that specialization would only lead to trade if there is no competition between nations. However, specialization actually encourages trade because different nations specialize in producing goods or services that they have a comparative advantage in. By focusing on their specialties and trading with other nations for goods or services they lack, nations can maximize their efficiency and productivity.

B) Nations stop using products from other nations to support their own economies.
This option suggests that nations would become self-sufficient and cease relying on imports from other nations. However, this goes against the concept of specialization and trade. Specialization encourages nations to focus on producing goods or services they are best at, while relying on other nations for goods or services they lack. This interdependence and ability to trade lead to increased efficiency and economic growth.

C) Nations agree to work together as a team to make it easier for them to manufacture expensive items.
This option suggests cooperation among nations to produce expensive items. While cooperation can be beneficial for trade, it is not directly related to specialization. Specialization itself focuses on each nation producing specific goods or services they are most efficient at, rather than jointly manufacturing expensive items.

D) One nation will focus resources on its specialty, forcing it to buy other products from other nations.
This option correctly explains how specialization encourages trade. When a nation specializes in producing certain goods or services, it concentrates its resources and efforts on becoming more efficient in that area. As a result, it may need to import other products from other nations that specialize in those areas. This promotes trade and allows each nation to benefit from the advantages of specialization.

From the given options, it is clear that D) One nation will focus resources on its specialty, forcing it to buy other products from other nations is the correct answer that explains how specialization encourages trade.
