- A.
Laissez faire economy
- B.
Mixed market economy
- C.
Centrally planned (command) economy

Free market economy
Correct Answer
B. Mixed market economyExplanation
The United States economic system is best described as a mixed market economy. This means that it combines elements of both a free market economy and government intervention. While individuals and businesses have the freedom to make economic decisions, the government also plays a role in regulating and overseeing certain sectors, such as healthcare, education, and transportation. Additionally, the government provides social welfare programs and implements policies to promote economic stability and growth. This combination of market forces and government intervention makes the United States economic system a mixed market economy.Rate this question:

Competition and self-interest in a free market system encourage businesses to constantly innovate and create new products.

- B.
Not enough competition exists
- C.
Big gap in equality between the poor and the wealthy
- D.
Very few economic freedoms
Correct Answer
C. Big gap in equality between the poor and the wealthyExplanation
A big gap in equality between the poor and the wealthy is a problem for a free market economy because it can lead to social unrest and instability. When there is a significant disparity in wealth distribution, it can result in a lack of access to basic necessities and opportunities for the poor, while the wealthy have disproportionate power and influence. This can undermine the principles of fairness and equal opportunity that are essential for a functioning free market system.Rate this question:

- A.
Few economic freedoms and choices
- B.
Wealth is distributed unequally
- C.
Customs interfere with economic decisions.
- D.
There is no government safety net for the poor
Correct Answer
A. Few economic freedoms and choicesExplanation
A command economy is a system in which the government has complete control over economic decisions and resource allocation. In such an economy, individuals have limited or no freedom to make their own economic choices, such as what to produce, how much to produce, and what prices to set. This lack of economic freedom and choice can lead to inefficiencies, as the government may not have the necessary information or incentives to make optimal decisions. It can also stifle innovation and entrepreneurship, as individuals are not able to freely pursue their own economic interests.Rate this question:

- B.
Centrally (command) planned markets
- C.
Traditional markets
- D.
Mixed markets
Correct Answer
A. Free markets (market economies)Explanation
The correct answer is free markets (market economies). The concept of the invisible hand is associated with free markets, where individuals and businesses act in their own self-interest and their collective actions unintentionally benefit society as a whole. In a free market, prices and production are determined by supply and demand, and there is minimal government intervention. The invisible hand metaphorically represents the self-regulating nature of free markets, where competition and market forces guide economic decisions and allocate resources efficiently.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
F. Adam SmithExplanation
Adam Smith is the correct answer because he is known for his theory of the "invisible hand." According to Smith, in a free market system, individuals pursuing their own self-interest will unintentionally benefit society as a whole. This is because competition among firms leads to efficiency and innovation, while consumers looking out for their self-interest will drive demand and ensure that resources are allocated effectively. Smith's ideas laid the foundation for capitalism and the belief in the power of the free market to regulate the economy.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
D. Invisible HandExplanation
The correct answer is "Invisible Hand". The explanation is that the concept of the invisible hand was introduced by economist Adam Smith in his book "The Wealth of Nations". It refers to the idea that individuals, by pursuing their own self-interest in a competitive market, unintentionally promote the well-being of society as a whole. According to Smith, the invisible hand mechanism allows for the efficient allocation of resources and the regulation of the economy without the need for government intervention.Rate this question:

- A.
North Korea
- B.
Hong Kong
- C.

Correct Answer
D. United StatesExplanation
The United States is the best example of a mixed economy because it combines elements of both a free market economy and a centrally planned economy. In the United States, there is a significant level of private ownership and individual decision-making in the market, but the government also plays a role in regulating and overseeing economic activities. This combination allows for both private enterprise and government intervention, making it a mixed economy.Rate this question:

Jamestown Colony The following reading questions are practice for the Iowa Assessments. Read the questions at the bottom first and then read the selection. In 1612, John Rolfe began growing tobacco in Jamestown from seeds he obtained from the Spanish colonies. Rolfe acquired the seeds despite the Spaniards’ threat of death to anyone selling tobacco seeds to anyone selling tobacco seeds to a non-Spaniard. The local Native Americans may have aided Rolfe’s acquisition of the seeds, as he was engaged to marry the chief’s daughter, Pocahontas. By 1614, the first tobacco from Virginia was sold in London, England. Despite the disapproval of King James I, this “stinking weed” came into high demand in England and throughout Europe. This led tobacco to become an incredibly profitable crop for Virginian farmers. For England, tobacco became an ideal product. It was easy to ship and cheap to produce. By 1639, at least 750 tons of Virginia tobacco had been shipped to England. Eventually, England did not allow Virginia tobacco to be shipped or sold anywhere but back to England. With tobacco as the main crop, the Virginia colony had the foundation for its economic success. Which of the following factors of production did Rolfe obtain to help start his tobacco farming?
- A.
Physcial Capital
- B.
Labor
- C.
Land
- D.
Human Capital
Correct Answer
C. LandExplanation
In order to start his tobacco farming, Rolfe obtained land. This is evident from the passage which states that Rolfe began growing tobacco in Jamestown and acquired tobacco seeds to grow the crop.

With the success of tobacco, the demand for labor in the colony increased. Labor was first supplied by indentured servants, who sold their labor for passage to Virginia, food, clothing, and other necessities- but no money. After filling the terms of the contract, usually three to seven years, the indentured servant would be given land, tools, and perhaps a small amount of money. A 20 percent death rate on the voyage over, and further exposure to hard work and disease, made it difficult to recruit indentured laborers. Eventually, farmers turned to slaves to fill their jobs. Although more expensive up-front, slaves were cheaper form of labor in the long run as their work was bought for life. Tobacco was profitable on any size of farm. Although crops other than tobacco, such as wheat, could be grown in the South, the opportunity cost was high. By specializing in growing tobacco, a farmer could maximize his profits over what could be made from growing other crops. One drawback was that the soil on tobacco farms was worn out every four to seven years. For this reason, tobacco farming favored large scale farmers. With this success, Virginia’s comparative advantage lay in growing tobacco. This paragraph suggests that tobacco is directly linked to the development of slavery in the United States:
- A.
True

Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
The paragraph explains that as the demand for labor increased in the colony due to the success of tobacco, farmers turned to slaves to fill their jobs. It states that although slaves were more expensive upfront, they were a cheaper form of labor in the long run as their work was bought for life. This suggests that the development of slavery in the United States was directly linked to the profitability of tobacco farming and the need for labor to cultivate and harvest the crop.Rate this question:

Because slaves were a cheaper form of labor
- D.
All options
Correct Answer
D. All optionsExplanation
Tobacco farmers chose to use slaves instead of indentured servants because it was difficult to recruit indentured servants to work on farms due to the high death rate during the voyage and the harsh conditions they faced. Additionally, indentured servants only worked for free for a limited period of time (3 to 7 years), while slaves provided a lifetime of labor. Therefore, using slaves was a more cost-effective option for tobacco farmers in the long run.Rate this question:
