W201689353 Diallo Comparative Econ D1 ENG
[Hi Alamouta:
I appreciate that you gave me a synopsis of your professor’s instructions along with your essay. It made reviewing your paper much easier for me.
Because this paper is primarily for an ECON class, I only marked areas that I thought needed either some clarification or some minor grammatical corrections. You made no spelling errors – good for you! It made reading your assignment very enjoyable
The only area we need to look at is misplaced modifiers. The rule in English is that a word or phrase which “modifies” or identifies a noun must be placed next to that noun. One common misplaced modifier is the word “this.” For example, you wrote: “This is done to benefit Country A.” The word “this” is misplaced because we don’t know to what you are referring.
To clean up a misplaced modifier, add an additional word or two after “this” to indicate the subject to the reader. I highlighted a few sentences but not all of them; you will need to go through and make sure that you correct all of these unclear sentences.
Otherwise, your paper was very clear and concise.
I hope my suggestions were helpful. We appreciate your using our tutoring service!
Thanks,

Here are some hypothetical numbers used to illustrate the ideas of trade-offs, specialization, and comparative advantage. Assume Sri Lanka, using all her resources efficiently, can produce either 1,000 bags of rice OR 3,000 bags of tea. Let's also assume that, using all her resources efficiently, Kenya can produce either 1,000 bags of rice OR 1,000 bags of tea. Further, assume that the countries have similar resource endowments and that, initially, they are not trading with each other. Therefore, each of the countries has to produce both rice and tea for its citizens. Suppose that, in the no-trade situation, Sri Lanka was consuming 400
