Question

which of the following would be the most immediate effect of sanctions on a country?
citizens are unable to buy needed goods.
goods and services rapidly decline in value.
war is declared on the sanctioning country.
leaders are forced into negotiations.

Explanation:

Sanctions often restrict trade, so citizens might face shortages and be unable to buy needed goods immediately. Decline in value of goods and services is a more long - term economic impact. Declaring war or forcing leaders into negotiations are not the most immediate consequences.

Answer:

Citizens are unable to buy needed goods.
