Which description best defines globalization?

• A. The process by which countries become more connected through trade, communication, and culture
• B. A movement toward global isolation
• C. A method of determining local taxes
• D. A schedule of international holidays

Answer: (A)

Globalization is the process by which countries become more connected through trade, communication, and culture. It involves how goods and services move across borders, how technology and transportation let people share information quickly, and how ideas, languages, and cultural practices spread worldwide. This description fits because it highlights increasing connections and interdependence among nations. The other options point to being isolated, a taxation method, or a calendar of holidays, none of which describe the growing links between countries.
