Question

1. after the united states forced japan to open to foreign trade, why did japan remain open? a. the country needed imported food to feed its growing population. b. the country believed the population would reject foreign influences. c. the country recognized it needed foreign help to keep growing economically. d. the country lacked the means to force and keep foreigners out.

Explanation:

After being forced to open by the US, Japan realized the importance of foreign - trade and foreign investment for its economic growth. Importing food was not the main reason for remaining open. Believing the population would reject foreign influences is not the cause for remaining open. And lacking the means to keep foreigners out is not the main factor. The key was the recognition of the need for foreign help in economic growth.

Answer:

C. The country recognized it needed foreign help to keep growing economically.
