Explanation:

To determine the correct actions, we analyze each option against MERCOSUR's goals:

1. Lower taxes on imported goods to increase trade between member countries: This aligns with the goal of making trade easier/cheaper (creating laws/agreements for cooperation) and improving the economy. Correct.
2. Only allow people to work and study in their own country: This restricts cooperation and knowledge sharing, contradicting goals like sharing ideas/allowing movement. Incorrect.
3. Pass laws that allow people to live and work across member countries: Facilitates cooperation, helps poorer countries gain wealth (via labor mobility), and supports economic growth. Correct.
4. Organize events where technology experts from different countries can share their knowledge: Aligns with the goal of sharing new ideas, knowledge, and experience. Correct.
