Which of the following statements would the information in the chart best
support?

(1 point)

Texas has certain countries it exports to, and other, different countries it imports
from.

O Texas' economy is interdependent with many countries.

O Texans buy Chinese goods, but Chinese people do not buy Texan goods.

Answer 1

Texas' economy is interdependent with many countries.

Reason: The lists show many trading partners for both exports and imports (with overlap like Mexico, China, Canada, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, UK), so Texas both buys from and sells to numerous countries. The first statement implies exports and imports go to completely different countries (not true), and the third is false because China appears on the export list as well as the import list.
