Question
In each of the following questions a grammatically
correct and meaningful sentence is given with four words given in bold in each. Which of the following words should replace each other to form a meaningful and grammatically correct sentence. The meaning can be different from the one in question. The central bank aims to slowdown (a) economic growth by tightening (b) monetary policy during periods of persistent stimulate (c) and financial expansion (d).Solution
From an economic perspective, central banks aim to stimulate economic growth, not slowdown growth. Additionally, the phrase “periods of persistent slowdown” correctly uses slowdown as a noun. In the original sentence, slowdown and stimulate are incorrectly placed. Swapping A and C corrects both the grammatical form and the underlying economic logic, while the rest of the sentence remains sound.
