    B what favours Bangladesh Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C which fall third in the line Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D as a global exporter Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    B- the preposition ‘in’ should be changed to ‘with’. Agreements with someone is correct. C- ‘favours’ should be changed to ‘favour’ because we are talking about two things- lower production costs and free trade agreements. D- ‘fall’ should be changed to ‘falls’ as we are talking about Bangladesh only. Lower production costs and free trade agreements with western buyers are what favour Bangladesh, which falls third in the line as a global exporter.
