In each question, there are five sentences or parts of sentences that form a paragraph. Identify the sentence(s) or part(s) of sentence(s) that is/are correct in terms of grammar and usage. Then, choose the most appropriate option.
A. So once an economy is actually in recession,
B. the authorities can, in principle, move the economy.
C. out of slump - assuming hypothetically.
D. that they know how to - by a temporary stimuli.
E. In the longer term, however, such policies have no affect on the overall behaviour of the economy.
A, B & E
B, C & E
C & D
A & B
Correct Answer :
D. A & B
A and B are correct. C is incorrect because semicolon should be used instead of hyphen after out of slump. Stimuli is plural so article a in phrase a temporary stimuli is incorrect in statement D. The word affect should be replaced by word effect in statement E.
Effect means a change which is a result of an action whereas affect is to produce a change or difference in something. Since there is no option with A and B. Choose the option B. Hence, correct answer is option (d).
