Question 4 • Government

Which is the best example of a sanction?

Answer
A
Country A decides to form an alliance with country B.
B
Country A launches warships toward country B.
C
Country A enacts trade restrictions against country B.
D
Country A denies aid money to country B.

Explanation

A sanction is a penalty or restriction imposed to pressure another country to change its actions, often by limiting trade. Enacting trade restrictions against country B is a direct example of a sanction. Forming an alliance is cooperation, and launching warships is a military action; denying aid can be a form of pressure, but trade restrictions are the clearest example here.
