    Question

    Choose the most appropriate word from the options that

    can fill the blanks. While the central bank's cautious stance helped contain inflation in the short term, its refusal to revise interest rates in response to global trends was criticized as ______, revealing a troubling ______ of adaptability in a fast-changing economic landscape.
    A rigid … deficit Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B strategic … presence Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C tentative … balance Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D collaborative … mastery Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E reactive … clarity Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Rigid fits the tone of criticism for not adapting. Deficit of adaptability correctly implies a lack of flexibility. Others are wrong because: • Strategic sounds positive — contradicts “criticized.” • Balance and mastery are neutral/positive. • Reactive implies response — but the bank is being unresponsive here.
