Understand the context: Quotas and embargoes are government-imposed restrictions used to address externalities or regulate trade.
Recall the definition of a quota: It is a limit on the quantity of a good that can be imported or produced.
Recall the definition of an embargo: It is a complete ban or restriction on trade of a particular good or with a particular country.
Compare the effects of quotas and embargoes: Both limit the quantity of the good that can be traded, either partially (quota) or completely (embargo).
Conclude that the common feature is that both restrict the quantity of a good that can be traded, unlike price controls or subsidies.
