Question

In the question below, a sentence is given, divided into parts which when rearranged will form a logical and coherent sentence. One of the parts does not belong to the sentence. Identify the part that does not belong to the sentence and rearrange the remaining parts to form a meaningful sentence. Choose the option that represents the correct arrangement and mark the options accordingly: by making corporate and consumer borrowing (1)/ the bartering system was heavily reliant on agricultural surpluses (2)/ significantly more expensive during periods of high inflation (3)/ Central banks often manipulate benchmark interest rates (4)/ in order to intentionally cool down an overheated economy (5)/
