    A Forex traders said persistence foreign fund outflows Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B and a sell-off in domestic equities Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C kept pressureon the local currency. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D no error Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution


    In A, replace the noun PERSISTENCE with the adjective PERSISTENT, as we need an adjective to describe FOREIGN FUND OUTFLOWS. The sentence would then read: "Forex traders said persistent foreign fund outflows and a sell-off in domestic equities kept pressure on the local currency."Therefore, 1 is the right answer.
