The answer is: United States would have a deficit of $11 billion in the given year.



A trade surplus occurs when a country exports more than it imports. On the other hand, a deficit is when a country imports more products than it exports.



In the above example, the United States is exporting only $5 billion of goods but importing $16 billion of products. This means that the total trade deficit in the example is 16-5 = $11 billion.



This actually represents the current situation of the United States where it has a significant trade deficit with many major economies in the world, most noticeably with China.

The correct answer is: "The US has a trade deficit of $11 billion".

If the amount of goods imported in a country exceeds the amount of goods exported, like in the case presented, there had been a trade deficit. It can be also said that the country has registered a negative balance of payments. In this scenario, the country will have to seek for resources to finance that difference between the inflows and outflows. Moreover, a trade deficit represents an outflow of domestic currency to foreign markets.

____ was a key ideal of the Enlightenment.
Ainat [17]

Answer:

A. Democracy.

Explanation:

The age of Enlightenment of the 17th and 18th centuries was an age of ideas intellectually and philosophically where reason centers the basics of everything. Thinkers of this period began to question traditional authority and chose to propagate the idea of humanity through rational changes.

<u>Philosophers of this Enlightenment believe in the notion of a democratic government where the people can have their voices heard and also participate and be a part of the government system</u>. With the decline in the monarchical ruling system, democracy began to emerge as the popular form of governing the people, in the belief that the government is created for the people and their welfare, and thus, it is only reasonable that they are made a part of the system. Famous thinkers of this age include <u>Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, René Descartes</u> among others.
