one of the WTO's goals as mentioned in the passage is to______ A. serve as arbiters in international trade disputes. B. ensure cheap export and import of goods unnecessarily. C. bring about the globalization of world's trades. D. encourage free trade and goods exchanges worldwide.

The World Trade Organization (WTO) aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible. This is clearly stated in multiple documents. For example, document 2 mentions that the primary goal of the WTO is to help conduct smooth, free, and fair trade. Document 3 indicates that the WTO aims to encourage international trade to flow as freely as possible. Document 8 also states that the WTO is a multilateral international organization aimed at promoting global trade liberalization and business cooperation.

Let's analyze each option:

Option A: "Serve as arbiters in international trade disputes" is one of the functions of the WTO, not its goal. As mentioned in document 1, one of the specific functions of the WTO is to resolve trade disputes between members.

Option B: "Ensure cheap export and import of goods unnecessarily" is incorrect. The WTO's goal is to promote free and fair trade, not to ensure cheap trade unnecessarily.

Option C: "Bring about the globalization of world's trades" is not the direct goal of the WTO. Although the WTO promotes free trade, which may contribute to trade globalization, its stated goal is to encourage free trade flow, not specifically to bring about globalization.

Option D: "Encourage free trade and goods exchanges worldwide" aligns with the WTO's goal of encouraging free trade flow as mentioned in the documents.

So the answer is D.
