Explanation
Why this works
is tested here through the prompt: "Which response uses a proper economic chain of analysis for The international economy? Variation 3: Explain AQA".
The correct option is "The correct answer is Use a three-step chain: cause changes incentives, incentives change demand or supply behaviour, and the new equilibrium affects welfare or resource allocation.." because it keeps the answer anchored to Globalisation. rather than a nearby misconception.
The reasoning chain is: define the concept, apply it to The national and international economy, identify the economic mechanism, and check the consequence against growth, inflation, unemployment, external balance and living standards. A tempting distractor usually confuses a change in demand with quantity demanded, analysis with evaluation, or a short-run effect with a long-run judgement.
For AQA Economics 7136, the best choice is the one that preserves the cause, transmission mechanism and consequence without adding an unsupported policy claim.
