free-trade associations

Explanation:

Reagan's quote emphasizes removing trade barriers (like roadblocks) to open foreign markets. Analyzing options:

• "Trade barriers and roadblocks would make trade fair" is wrong (barriers don't make trade fair).
• "Increased trade barriers would help the economy" is wrong (Reagan wanted to remove, not increase, barriers).
• "Free - trade associations would end competition" is wrong (free - trade promotes competition, not end it).
• "Increased production and fair trade would help the economy" aligns: Removing barriers (to open markets) supports fair trade and increased production, boosting the economy.

Answer:

Increased production and fair trade would help the economy.
