Answer: Adam Smith would have disagreed with this statement. He believed government should not regulate the economy or control trade.
Explanation:
Even though Adam Smith believed that the government had a role to play in the economy, he believed that this role should be limited to National defense, upholding civil law and providing public services like education.
He would therefore be against the government regulating trade agreements that allow the passage of goods and services into and out of the country. Karl Marx and John Maynard Keynes on the other hand, advocated for government intervention, albeit in varying quantities.
One of them is that Gatsby to war when he single handedly defeated the German army
another one is that all of his family was dead and that he had inherited all of his money from that family
The answer is A. Kotowski cites four scholars who specialize in the study of volcanoes, whereas Ferguson cites only the encyclopedia.
The given thesis is arguing that Kotowski is more reliable than Ferguson because he backs up his statements with a greater number of more reliable sources. In choice A, Kotowski is not only using three more sources than Ferguson, but they're sources from reputable specialists, making them higher quality sources as well.
If you're still confused, you can use elimination to rule out the others:
B. B doesn't work because there's no mention of the rate of volcanic change in the thesis. Although the statement may be true, it's not evidence to support the writer's claim.
C. C doesn't work because there's no mention of the frequency of volcanic eruption in the thesis. Again, although the statement may be true, it doesn't necessarily support the writer's claim.
D. D doesn't work because there's no mention of the similarities between the two pieces. If the thesis is arguing that Kotowski's work is different from Ferguson's because it's more reliable, it'd be counterproductive for the writer to mention the similarities of the work. Therefore, this "evidence" has no relation to the thesis and would not support the author's thesis.
Hope this helps!
