The passage is primarily concerned with which of the following?

  • A.Arguing for an increase in trade with foreign nations.
  • B.Providing a historical context for a long-standing belief.
  • C.Demonstrating the fallacy of a particular way of thinking.
  • D.Illustrating an economic principle through an example.

Answer: C

Correct answer: Demonstrating the fallacy of a particular way of thinking.

The passage names the anti-foreign bias, reports the folk wisdom behind it, says nothing could be further from truth, and then brings Smith and the Law of Comparative Advantage against it. The baker and the cobbler are the illustration used in that refutation, not the object of the passage.
