Question

Which is a positive balance of trade for a country?

importing goods and exporting services
importing raw materials and exporting goods
importing more goods than exporting
exporting more goods than importing

Answer 1

Exporting more goods than importing.

Explanation: Balance of trade = exports − imports. A positive balance (trade surplus) occurs when exports exceed imports. Importing more than exporting gives a deficit; the other options don't guarantee a surplus.
