Answer:
2. The US imports oil from the Middle East while some countries there rely on the US for food and technology.
Explanation:
A specialization occurred when the process of production a certain product become so cheap and efficient in a country. This allow them to focus their time and resources solely on producing that product and imported other product that they need.
The middle east had the largest oil reserves in the world (As per today, it's 10 times more than US have. They might have some that they haven't discovered yet) . For United States, this means that importing oil from the middle east is much cheaper compared to producing it by their own. They could focus that time and resources for producing foods and technology instead.
The government should make laws that protect the citizens from hurting themselves and or others (for obvious reasons).
Most laws are needed but some laws are just silly such as: in Alabama it is illegal to carry an ice-cream cone in your back pocket, in Maine you can't tickle a woman with a feather duster, in Utah you can't carry a violin in a paper bag, in Tennessee you can't sell hollow logs, in Kansas you can't serve wine in teacups, in California you can't ride a bike in a pool, in Connecticut pickles must bounce to be considered actual pickles, and in wiscomsin you cant serve apple pie without cheese (these are all real, you should look them up).
People can be counted on to scoff at these laws or even be unaware of their existence.
Hope this helps, I certainly had fun writing it lol.
It does provide a healthy lifestyle if you ask me. However, if there are multiple choices then that'd be great.
