The purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is to provide common defense.
The purpose of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) is common defense.
To arrive at this answer, you can eliminate the options that are not relevant to NATO's purpose.
1) Economic aid: NATO does not primarily focus on providing economic aid. While member countries may engage in economic cooperation, NATO's main goal is not to provide economic assistance.
2) Open borders: While NATO member countries may benefit from open borders within the European Union (EU), it is not the primary purpose of NATO. Open borders fall under the jurisdiction of the EU, which is a separate organization from NATO.
3) Sea patrolling: While cooperation in sea patrolling can be one aspect of NATO's activities, it is not the main purpose of the organization. NATO's primary objective is focused on ensuring the collective defense of its member countries.
Upon eliminating the irrelevant options, the purpose of NATO becomes apparent as common defense.
