Each sentence has an error. Rewrite it correctly on the line.

When the United States ships wheat to Japan, the wheat is an import for the United States.
Rewrite: When the United States ships wheat to Japan, the wheat is an export for the United States.
2. Fix the sentence:
Countries trade with each other because every country already has all the resources it needs.
Rewrite: Countries trade with each other because no country has all the resources it needs.
3. Fix the sentence:
A delivery truck is a natural resource because it carries goods from place to place.
Rewrite: A delivery truck is a capital resource because it is a tool made by people to move goods.
Part B: Fill in the Blank
Write the missing word or number on each line.
1. Goods that a country brings in from another country are called imports.
2. Goods that a country sends out to sell in another country are called exports.
3. A person who buys goods or services is called a consumer.
4. Countries can trade for resources they do not have by sending their own goods to other nations.
Part C: Short Answer
Answer each question in one or two complete sentences.
1. Why does the United States import bananas instead of growing all of them at home?
Bananas grow best in warm tropical climates. Most of the United States does not have the right climate to grow bananas, so we import them from countries like Ecuador and Costa Rica.
2. Name one product the United States exports and explain why other countries might want it.
The United States exports airplanes. Other countries want them because they need aircraft for travel and shipping but may not have the factories to build their own.
