The arguments for restricting trade suppose there is a policy debate over imposing trade restrictions on imported tires in the united states. the debate also focuses on the job outsourcing in the tire industry. a senator from a state with several tire factories explains that it is necessary to impose restrictions against job outsourcing to protect workers in the domestic tire industry. the senator claims that, without protection against job outsourcing, u. s. companies in the tire industry have incentives to outsource their jobs to developing countries where the labor is cheaper. this would leave many u. s. workers in the tire industry unemployed. the senator is using the argument to justify the trade restriction on tires.

a. national security
b. employment
c. infant industry
d. cheap foreign labor

correct option is A

Explanation:

correct option is A

Core argument often put forward to limit trade as it reduces the demand for jobs available.

question - in 1827, john walker, a druggist in a small english town, tipped a splint with sulphur, chlorate of potash, and sulphid of antimony, and rubbed it on sandpaper, and it burst into flame. the druggist had discovered the first friction-chemical match, the kind we use to-day. it is called friction-chemical because it is made by mixing certain chemicals together and rubbing them. although walker's match did not require the bottle of acid, nevertheless it was not a good one. it could be lighted only by hard rubbing, and it sputtered and threw fire in all directions. in a few years, however, phosphorus was substituted on the tip for antimony, and the change worked wonders. the match could now be lighted with very little rubbing, and it was no longer necessary to have sandpaper upon which to rub it. it would ignite when rubbed on any dry surface, and there was no longer any sputtering. this was the phosphorus match, the match with which we are so familiar. according the paragraph what was the benefit of the new phosphorus match? it burst into flame when rubbed on sandpaper. it was made by mixing chemicals. it could be ignited on any dry surface. it threw fire in all directions.

answer - matches required natural chemicals
