Correct choices:
- Hopes to improve their democracy — EU membership can strengthen democratic institutions, rule of law and governance.
- Hopes to improve their economy — access to single market, investment, trade and funding can boost economic growth.
- Improved cooperation with other European nations — membership enhances political, security and regulatory cooperation.

The other options (bailing out weaker economies, losing national decision‑making, increased financial burden) are drawbacks or consequences rather than reasons to join.
