Question

multiple choice 1 point
jimmy carter’s ______ of major industries, such as aviation and trucking, was intended to force large companies to become more competitive.
oversight
tax increase
tax reduction
deregulation
clear my selection

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the context: Jimmy Carter's action on industries like aviation and trucking to make companies more competitive. Deregulation (removing government regulations) is known to increase competition. Oversight is monitoring, tax increase/reduction relate to taxes, not directly to industry competition via regulatory change. So deregulation fits.

Answer:

deregulation (the option labeled "deregulation")
