gives interest-free loans to struggling nations

provides technical assistance to war-damaged countries

resolves trade disputes between nations

Answer 1

- gives interest-free loans to struggling nations — Yes. The World Bank Group’s IDA arm provides interest‑free credits and grants to the poorest countries (IBRD offers low‑interest loans to middle‑income and creditworthy low‑income countries).

- provides technical assistance to war-damaged countries — Yes. The Bank provides financing, technical advice and capacity‑building for reconstruction and recovery in post‑conflict and other fragile states.

- resolves trade disputes between nations — No. Trade dispute settlement is handled by the WTO. (The World Bank Group does host ICSID for investor‑state dispute settlement, but it does not resolve international trade disputes between countries.)
