Question

30
specialization in three nations
specialty nation x nation y nation z
grows cotton manufactures cotton into fabric builds equipment to manufacture cotton fabric
based on the chart, how does specialization encourage interdependence between these three nations? e.4.1
a. each nation produces something another nation needs
b. each nation produces something to compete with the other nations
c. each nation produces something unrelated to items from the other nations

Explanation:

Nation X grows cotton, which Nation Y needs to make fabric. Nation Y makes fabric, and Nation Z makes equipment for that fabric production, which Nation Y requires. Nation Z's equipment relies on the cotton/fabric supply chain that X and Y support. This creates mutual need, driving interdependence. The other options are incorrect: competition (option b) does not encourage interdependence, and unrelated production (option c) would eliminate interdependence.

Answer:

a. Each nation produces something another nation needs
