In 1996, the World Trade Organization (WTO) ruled that the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) regulation calling for cleaner gasoline discriminated against foreign producers and violated WTO agreements. The EPA was forced to rewrite the rule to allow for dirtier gasoline. What effect did this revision likely have on world trade? A. The revision probably decreased world trade because gasoline that previously couldn't be sold in the United States was then allowed to be sold there.
B. The revision probably increased world trade because gasoline that previously couldn't be sold in the United States was then allowed to be sold there.
C. The revision probably increased world trade because gasoline that previously couldn't be sold in the United States was made to meet a higher environmental standard.
D. The revision probably decreased world trade because gasoline that previously couldn't be sold in the United States had to be sold in other countries.

first, the romans stayed isolated because they had to defend their own territories from neighboring cities that were harassing them, like the etruscans. second, once the romans managed to defeat their neighbors, and started to expand their territory, they started to build roads and bridges. finally, now that the romans have covered their territory with roads functioning as highways, they could mobilize their legions faster to assemble larger military units in a specific place.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
