Question

select the correct answer.
a communist country decides to give its people more economic freedom in an attempt to improve its failing economy. what outcome is the government most likely worried about in this case?
a. people will want to leave the country.
b. people will want more political freedom.
c. people will want to spend more for necessary items.
d. people wil want to move to rural areas.

Explanation:

In a communist country, when economic freedom is increased, there's a historical and theoretical link between economic and political freedoms. Once people get more economic autonomy, they often seek corresponding political rights (like participation, representation, etc.). Option A: Leaving the country isn't the most direct worry from economic freedom increase. Option C: Spending on necessities is more about economic behavior, not a governance - related worry here. Option D: Moving to rural areas is not a typical concern from economic freedom expansion. So the government is most likely worried about people wanting more political freedom.

Answer:

B. People will want more political freedom.
