    Solution

    The word ‘stringent’ means ‘having a very severe effect, or being extremely limiting.’ It is correct here. Stay afloat- If a person, business, or country stays afloat or is kept afloat, they have just enough money to pay their debts and continue operating. Staple- main. Rescind- to make a law, agreement, order, or decision no longer have any (legal) power.
