Question

what is a coalition?
an agreement to increase the price of goods
a partnership between two equal powers
a group formed for a common purpose
a trade relationship between nations

Explanation:

To determine the correct definition of a coalition, we analyze each option:

• "an agreement to increase the price of goods" describes a cartel (e.g., in oligopolies), not a coalition.
• "a partnership between two equal powers" is more specific (like a bilateral alliance) and not the general definition of a coalition.
• "a group formed for a common purpose" matches the standard definition of a coalition (e.g., political coalitions, social coalitions).
• "a trade relationship between nations" refers to trade agreements or treaties, not a coalition.

Answer:

C. a group formed for a common purpose
