According to Smith the correct answer is C. gain the greatest possible profit.

Adam Smith says when an individual invests their capital in domestic industry he is searching for the greatest value this capital can return for him, but by doing it the society will also benefit.

<em>A. ask the government to control commerce </em>this option is wrong as he thinks the market must be free and open, thus the government responsibilities should be limited to matters related to education, defence or infrastructure.

<em>B. nurture trade with foreign</em> is wrong because he arguments for local investment and even to lay tax on foreign products for internal economic grown and to encourage domestic economy.

<em>D. promote the public good of their countr</em>y, this option is not correct because the promotion of the public good is done by daily choices not by investing capital in industry.

The correct answer is C) To gain the greatest possible profit.

Adam Smith is well known for his economic philosophies written in his book <em>Wealth of Nations</em>. This influential book about capitalism and laissez faire economics helped to develop America's modern economic system.

In his book <em>Wealth of Nations, </em>Adam Smith advocates no government intervention in the economy. Instead, he argues that competition between businesses will result in the best possible outcome for society. Along with this, Smith argues that when individuals act selfishly, they will help society as a whole. This is because acting in your own best interest will result in lower prices or hiring more workers. These types of effects have a positive impact on the society as a whole.

What can be used to provide air for a fire?<br><br> musket<br> bellows<br> tongs<br> trundle
beks73 [17]

Answer:

Bellows.

Explanation:

Bellows refers to a device or instrument which is typically used to create a strong air current (blast of air) for blowing a fire. They are generally designed to have an air chamber, valve, nozzle (tube) and two handles

Generally, bellows can be used to provide air for a fire. The handles are joined together with a flexible leather bag (air chamber). When the handles are expanded, the valve draws in air to fill the air chamber and these air is then dispensed (expelled) through the nozzle (tube) by contracting (squeezing) the two handles which causes the air chamber to compress.

<em>Hence, the strong air current (blast of air) produced by bellows are used for blowing a fire. </em>

The attack in Pearl Harbor is the reason why United States enter to war. A day after the attack, President Roosevelt made a speech to the United States addressing what will the U.S. respond after this attack. The speech started mentioning the peace agreement that was being negotiated by Japan and the United States of America and then, the attacks that Japan made in December 7. In the first part of the speech, Roosevelt was trying to deliver shame, shame on a country who was negotiating peace and without notices, canceled any further negotiation and attack. This was consider a stab in the back against the U.S., who were in a state of peace, pure victims to an attack like Pearl Habor was. At the end of the speech, anger and a sense of justice was comming from Roosevelts mouth, he wanted to let America know, that this act was not going to be ignored. The United States was going to enter to war, not just to defend themselves from attacks like Pearl Harbor. They were going to enter to war and make sure attacks likes this one will never happend again. The United States is a country that not only Japan, but anybody should mess with.

Novosadov [1.4K]
The third option seems to be the most likely, as the first and fourth options reflect conservative beliefs, and the second option isn't based upon party lines.
 
So the answer would be the third option.
