    C C only Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D A, B Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    In sentence A, "incompetence for jobs" is incorrectly used. The word "incompetence" does not fit in this context. It should be something like "opportunities" or "skills." In sentence B, "incompetence" is used correctly, referring to the lack of ability or skill, which explains the current loss. In sentence C, "fizzled out incompetence back" is incorrect; the use of "incompetence" is inappropriate here. The sentence should have used a different word like "interest" or "momentum."
