Answer:

The answer is explained below.

Explanation:

The Branch of science that deals with the celestial bodies and the Universe is called Astronomy. People of almost all ancient civilisations studied astronomy.

One of the most important reason astronomy was important is that it helped them to keep track of seasons which allowed them plant and harvest crops at the correct time. It led to the development of advanced forms of agriculture.

Astronomy also allowed them to develop time keeping methods and calendars. It was also helpful in religion and politics as the ancient priests were aware of the time when the various celestial events would occur, so they could yield power by holding festivities tied to the astronomical phenomenon.

The priestly class were the only one who could predict such phenomena, astronomy was one one of the major reasons that helped them to become a powerful elite.

A potential negative result of trade agreements is protectionism. sanctions. job loss. higher tariffs.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

C.) Job loss

Explanation:

A.) is incorrect because protectionism is reduced when countries engage in more trade agreements. Reducing protectionism is generally seen as a good thing. Protectionism involves protecting a country's economy mainly by taxing imports. The fact that countries are willing to participate in more trade with other countries directly opposes this theory.

B.) is incorrect because sanctions involve decreasing trade with other countries. Sanctions are some form of penalties a country places on another to pressure or protect themselves against that country. Sanctions make it more difficult to purchase international products and can negatively impact domestic businesses and citizens.

C.) is correct because this is the only negative consequence of more trade agreements. When trade expands, citizens have an easier time buying products from other countries. If citizens begin to purchase less domestic products, some companies may lose business. With less business comes more lay offs and lost jobs.

D.) is incorrect because tariffs would be loosened if trade agreements are reached. Tariffs are taxes placed on items entering a country that are meant to discourage international purchases. Lower taxes on foreign items makes the products cheaper for consumers.
