1. based on the source above, which of the following key concepts is not being demonstrated?

a. economic protectionism
b. barriers to free trade
c. trade liberalization
d. all of the above

Explanation:

For Question 4:

A tariff is a tax imposed on goods crossing international borders. Anthony is paying an extra tax on parts imported from the US to Canada, which matches the definition of a tariff. A quota tax does not exist as a standard term, liberalization tax is not a valid tax type here, and provincial sales tax applies to domestic sales, not cross-border imports.

For Question 5:

The scenario shows a trade barrier (tariff) which is a form of economic protectionism. Trade liberalization involves reducing or eliminating such barriers, so it is not demonstrated here.

Answer:

1. b. Tariff
2. c. Trade liberalization
