The author most likely mentions the "baker" and the "cobbler" in order to:

  • A.provide a concrete illustration of an economic principle
  • B.discuss the types of goods available during Adam Smith’s time
  • C.evaluate an example used in Smith’s Wealth of Nations
  • D.show that all trade is based on specialization

Answer: C

Correct answer: provide a concrete illustration of an economic principle

The pair is introduced immediately after Smith's remark about the private family and the great kingdom, and the passage draws the moral itself: both men benefit from the trade because of the value of specialization. The same principle works for nations. The example is used, not assessed.
