Hi Friends,
I am having difficulty in answering the following question. Need help.
The recently negotiated North American Free Trade Agreement among Canada, Mexico, and the United
States is misnamed, because it would not result in truly free trade. Adam Smith, the economist who first articulated the principles of free trade, held that any obstacle placed in the way of the free movement of goods, investment, or labor would defeat free trade. So since under the agreement workers would be restricted by national boundaries from seeking the best conditions they could find, the resulting obstruction of the flow of trade would, from a free-trade perspective, be harmful.
The argument proceeds by
(A) ruling out alternatives
(B) using a term in two different senses
(C) citing a non-representative instance
(D) appealing to a relevant authority
(E) responding to a different issue from the one posed
OA after some discussions.
