      Question

      Each sentence has one blank. Choose the most

      appropriate word to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct. Regulatory interventions that are perceived as inconsistent or poorly enforced may inadvertently ______ risk-taking behaviour rather than discourage it, thereby undermining financial stability.
      A provoke Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B incentivise Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C accelerate Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D amplify Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E trigger Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      The correct word is incentivise, which means to encourage or motivate a particular behaviour. Weak or inconsistent regulation can unintentionally reward risky actions. Provoke and trigger suggest sudden reactions. Accelerate and amplify relate to speed or magnitude, not motivation. Only incentivise accurately reflects the unintended encouragement of risk-taking described in the sentence.
