NYSTCE Family And Consumer Science (072) Practice Exam

Which policy describes a system that doesn't restrict imports or exports?

Tariffs and quotas Protectionism Embargo Free trade

Correct Answer:

Free trade

Explanation:

The main idea here is how governments regulate international commerce. Free trade is the system that describes a market with little to no government barriers on moving goods and services across borders. It allows imports and exports to flow openly, letting prices and production be driven by competition and comparative advantage. Why this fits: there are no or minimal restrictions like taxes (tariffs) or limits on quantity (quotas), no broad policy to shield domestic industries (protectionism), and no complete ban on trade with a country (embargo). The other options all involve some form of restriction or barrier, whereas free trade removes those barriers, promoting open exchange.
