Exonia is implementing limit on imported items regardless of specific negative effects on domestic industries that could be attributed to any particular import. Now, Author says to avoid needlessly stringent restrictions, Exonia must show that, the country can help reduce the damage from this imposed limit.

Experts' Global Explanation:
Mind-map: All representatives support uniform limits on imported items à even if a particular import has no specific effect on domestic industries à to avoid unnecessary restrictions, it must be shown that _____
Missing-link: Not needed
Expectation from the correct answer choice: Something on the lines of a provision that prevents excessive limits on imported items that have no negative impact domestically
A. This answer choice, suggesting that the limits would be implemented without a delay, indicates promptness in the implementation of the restrictions but makes no suggestion regarding how unnecessary restrictions would be avoided. Because this answer choice does not effectively complete the chain of thoughts developed in the passage, this answer choice is incorrect.
B. Trap. If Exonia imports all the goods of a particular type that the country exporting the goods produced, it indicates that controlling the maximum quantity of import is likely to reduce the exporting country’s export but makes no suggestion regarding how uniform limits prevent unnecessary restrictions on imported items that have no negative impact domestically. Because this answer choice does not effectively complete the chain of thoughts developed in the passage, this answer choice is incorrect.
C. Trap. This answer choice, suggesting that some representatives favor uniform limits, makes no suggestion regarding how unnecessary restrictions would be avoided. Besides, if a region imports the highest quantity of goods, the region’s representatives are not likely to favor any limits on the maximum quantity of imported items, thus contradicting the fact in the argument that representatives from “all” regions supported limits on maximum quantity of imported items. Because this answer choice does not effectively complete the chain of thoughts developed in the passage, this answer choice is incorrect.
D. Correct. If the possibility of negative effects of an import on domestic industries is judged before the import is made subject to limits, it indicates that only the imports that can negatively impact domestic industries would be likely subject to necessary restrictions, thus likely avoiding unnecessary restrictions on imports that are not harmful for domestic industries. Because this answer choice effectively completes the chain of thoughts developed in the passage, this answer choice is correct.
E. Regardless of whether economic damage already suffered by domestic industries is reversible, there is likely a need to limit imports to avoid future damage to domestic industries; however, any judgment on the reversibility of damage is just additional consideration and makes no suggestion regarding how unnecessary restrictions would be avoided. Because this answer choice does not effectively complete the chain of thoughts developed in the passage, this answer choice is incorrect.
D is the best choice.
