What alliance is described as a military alliance with other democratic countries of the West?

  1. NATO

  2. NORAD

  3. UN

  4. NAFTA

The correct answer is: NATO

NATO, or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, is the correct answer as it is a military alliance consisting of 30 democratic countries from Europe and North America. NORAD is a joint military organization between the United States and Canada for air defense, but does not include other democratic countries of the West. The United Nations (UN) is an international organization that promotes cooperation among countries, but it is not specifically a military alliance. NAFTA, or the North American Free Trade Agreement, is a trade agreement between the United States, Canada, and Mexico, and does not involve any military alliance. Thus, NATO is the best fit for the given description.
