which statement best explains the effect of international trade on american industries?
a. increased overseas trade meant that american jobs were more dependent on world events.
b. increased overseas trade caused the long depression in the united states.
c. increased overseas trade meant that americans were supplying raw materials to asia and africa.
d. increased overseas trade made americas long depression last longer than expected.

Explanation:

International trade links a country's economy more closely with the global one. Jobs become more vulnerable to world - events like economic crises or political unrest in trading partners. The Long Depression was not directly caused by increased overseas trade, and America was not mainly supplying raw materials to Asia and Africa during that period in the context of increased trade impact. Also, there is no clear connection between increased trade and the length of the Long Depression.

Answer:

A. Increased overseas trade meant that American jobs were more dependent on world events.
