Question 40

Arrange the sentences in the most logical order to form a coherent paragraph. From the given options (A, B, C, D) choose the most appropriate sequence.
(i) Part of the rapid slowing reflected specific problems in the German car industry, where changes in emissions regulation have had a one-off impact on production.
(ii) But even without that, growth would barely have been positive.
(iii) Last week it was revealed that Germany, one of the few reliable engines of eurozone growth since the global financial crisis, had seen a 0.2 per cent fall in GDP in the third quarter.
(iv) Moreover, indicators of business sentiment show that underlying growth momentum has slowed across the eurozone.

Sentence 1 will follow it as it explains the reasons for the downfall.
Sentence 2 refutes the explanation in sentence 1.
Sentence 4 furthers the discussion by indicators of business sentiment which slowed the growth across the eurozone.
3124 is the correct sequence.

B is the correct answer.
