Question

the united states currently:
a. exports 20 percent of its energy to canada.
b. exports 36 percent of its energy to canada and mexico.
c. imports 36 percent of its energy from canada and mexico.
d. only imports oil from venezuela and the middle east.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: The US is a net importer of energy from Canada, not an exporter of 20% of its energy to Canada. Eliminate A.
• Option B: The US imports energy from Canada and Mexico, not exports 36% of its energy to them. Eliminate B.
• Option C: The US does import a significant portion (around 36%) of its energy from Canada and Mexico. This is consistent with energy trade data.
• Option D: The US imports oil from many sources, not only Venezuela and the Middle East (e.g., Canada is a major oil supplier to the US). Eliminate D.

Answer:

C. imports 36 percent of its energy from Canada and Mexico.
