Which of the following is NOT a positive affects of a nation comparative advantage on international trade?
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: D) eliminates the need for trade with other nations

Explanation:

Having comparative advantage on the production of a good or service means that a country can produce that good or service cheaper and be able to exchange it for other goods and services that other countries are offering.

International trade is therefore very important to countries acting on comparative advantage because the country will not produce all that it needs but rather what it is good at producing. This means that trade with other countries is still needed to provide those goods that they need but find it expensive to produce.

The invention of the wheel dates from at least 2000 years before Christ, and can be extended up to 3,500 years if we take into account the first illustrations of a wheel. The controlled use of fire, in turn, dates back more than a million years, while the development of agriculture is about 10,000 years old. Thus, among the discoveries and inventions pointed out. It is worth noting, however, that the invention of the wheel, while important, would not contribute to such a large population growth.

Agriculture (letter d), gradually improved from 5,000 BC, is the fundamental factor for population growth, which could now settle, rather than live as a nomad.
