Question

what is one benefit of free trade?
a. increased consumer choice and lower prices
b. higher taxes on imports
c. limited access to goods
d. increased government control over trade

Explanation:

Free trade allows for more goods to be imported and exported without excessive barriers. This leads to more choices for consumers as they can access a wider range of products from different countries. Also, increased competition (due to more suppliers in the market from free trade) often drives prices down. Higher taxes on imports (Option B) are trade barriers, not a benefit of free - trade. Limited access to goods (Option C) is the opposite of what free trade aims for. Increased government control over trade (Option D) is also contrary to the concept of free trade which promotes less government - imposed restrictions.

Answer:

A. Increased consumer choice and lower prices
