9. What has been the greatest advantage of creating groups like the EEC, EU, and NAFTA?
mr_godi [17]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

What has been the greatest advantage of creating groups like the EEC, EU, and NAFTA?

The greatest advantage of creating groups like the EEC, EU, and NAFTA is that countries can form trade regions or trade "blocks" that benefit their economic interests. These trade agreements allow their members to freely trade with no or minimum tax barriers, benefiting their exportations and importations rate.

Let's put the example of NAFTA.

On December 17, 1992, Presidents of Mexico, the United States, and Canada signed NAFTA. They were Carlos Salinas, George H. W. Bush, and Brian Mulroney. This would be the largest free trade area in the world. The entering President, Bill Clinton, supported NAFTA principles but wanted the addition of some clauses on environment protection and better labor agreements. According to President Clinton, a result of the North America Free Agreement (NAFTA) would be increased jobs and lower prices.

NAFTA has been recently renegotiated by the three countries and the new agreement is called USMCA, United States, Mexico, and Canada Agreement.

Which statement about the 1777 Battle of Saratoga is FALSE?
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

A. After the battle, Abigail Adams went to the White House chapel to say a prayer of thanksgiving.

Explanation:

The Battle of Saratoga was the final battle of the Saratoga campaign and marked a decisive victory for the American troops. The British plan was to lead their forces southward, northward, and eastward surrounding the American troops. The only British force that arrived was the one lead by General Burgoyne from the south but he saw his troops superated. General Gates is credited with the victory and the winning against them made the French support the American cause.

The false statement is the A because after the battle Abigail Adams, wife of John Adams the United States president, write a letter to his husband celebrating the victory.

I hope this answer helps you.
