Social Science (087) — AI-generated practice question

Action 1 — Enforcing Labour Laws (protects workers):
The government must ensure labour laws are properly implemented. This protects workers — especially in factories supplying MNCs — from exploitation such as low wages, unsafe conditions, and job insecurity caused by companies seeking cheap labour to maximise profits from globalisation.

Action 2 — Using Trade Barriers (protects small producers):
The government can use trade and investment barriers (quotas/taxes on imports) to shield small producers from unfair competition. Developed countries like the US subsidise their farmers heavily, giving them an unfair price advantage that can destroy livelihoods of small producers in developing countries.

• The question asks for two actions, one from trade policy and one from labour rights — so split your answer clearly into two labelled points.
• Each point must name: the action → who it protects → from what harm. Examiners look for all three elements.
• Evidence from the passage (labour law implementation, trade barriers, US farm subsidies example) directly supports both points — use it to justify, as the question asks.
• At 3 marks, ~75 words is ideal. Don't write more than two focused paragraphs.
