Answer 2

I've only looked at number 1 so far, and it's not right. Thank you for at least showing your answers—you've made an effort!

Answer 3

You're looking for an option that encourages domestic growth. A monopoly wouldn't do that, since it either drives people to imported goods, or those aren't even available, in which case consumers are buying from the monopoly no matter what!

Answer 4

So which of those other options look good?

Answer 5

protective tariffs looked like the next one i would chose

Answer 6

Okay, good. Why protective tariffs?

Answer 7

because it has something to do with the government or america trying to get them to buy us instead of the imported stuff.

Answer 8

It is a tax imposed on imported goods to increase the cost and discourage people from buying them, which drives them toward the domestic goods.
