Hi ranjlene-ga,

To clarify and correct the answers.

8) A- foreign operations may result in unrealiable suppliers and
distributors.
This is so because investors have to depend on local persons for
material and still depend on local persons to get their goods out to
customers.

9)B- Brazil for precision machinery
This is so because precision machinery is very expensive 

10) B- Inpred

Sorry for the delay and errors
