Sentence 1 → Error in Part C Subject: → The rapid expansion (singular) Phrase: → “along with increased cross-border capital mobility” This is parenthetical and does not affect subject number. Incorrect: have created Correct: has created Rule: Expressions such as: along with, together with, as well as, do not alter the original subject. Sentence 2 → Correct Structure: Hardly had… when… is correctly used. Tense sequencing and inversion are accurate. Sentence 3 → Error in Part C Subject: → reforms (plural) Incorrect: enables Correct: enable Rule: Verb must agree with plural noun. Hence, option (1).
