Answer 1

Correct answer: NAFTA reshaped the economic relationship among the three countries and made them much more enmeshed and interdependent.

Brief reason: By eliminating many tariffs and trade barriers, NAFTA greatly increased cross-border trade, investment, and integrated supply chains (especially in autos and agriculture), tying the U.S., Canada, and Mexico economically to one another.
