Question

a. the business would have mandatory, long - term limits on hiring skilled workers.
b. it would guarantee easy and rapid access to domestic and international markets.
c. it would force the company to only use sea shipping for all its products.
d. it would likely increase the company’s operating costs due to high local taxes.

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option A: There's no reason a transportation hub would impose hiring limits on skilled workers. Eliminate A.
• Option B: Atlanta as a major transportation hub (airport, interstates) means good connectivity. This would allow a corporation easy access to domestic (via interstates) and international (via airport) markets. This makes sense.
• Option C: A transportation hub with an airport and interstates wouldn't force a company to only use sea shipping. Eliminate C.
• Option D: The question is about the transportation hub's consequence, not local taxes. Eliminate D.

Answer:

B. It would guarantee easy and rapid access to domestic and international markets.
