A. It becomes more difficult for U.S. citizens to get health care.

Explanation:

If people cannot have access to healthcare, there will be more illnesses/injuries and it will decrease the standard of living. If people start traveling to different states, that won't affect the standard of living in any way. If factories begin producing goods at a faster rate, it will be convenient for people. I don't know what the gold standard is but I'm assuming it's a good thing, so that isn't the answer. The only negative thing is answer choice, so that is the answer.

b. after i get up in the morning,

explanation:

after is a subordinating conjunction that introduces a time clause. time clauses are dependent clauses used to indicate when something happened.

the clause "after i get up in the morning" tells when the action in the main clause (drinking a cup of coffee) happens:

"after i get up in the morning, i drink a cup of coffee." it is the most logical choice of all.

c, to compete
