Politician's Trade Argument — Find the Strengthener
Lesson 10 of 14
About this lesson
A politician claims that more trade between countries is better for everyone. The correct supporting statement must show a direct benefit that reaches EVERYONE — not just businesses, not just one country. Option B looks tempting because it links trade to business success, but it only gets you partway: businesses doing better ≠ everyone benefits. Option C is the winner because it connects trade to the absence of war — and war harms literally everyone.
