A. So once an economy is actually in recession,
B. The authorities can, in principle, move the economy
C. Out of slump - assuming hypothetically
D. That they know how to - by a temporary stimuli.
E. In the longer term, however, such policies have no affect on the overall behaviour of the economy.
The usage of the word "so" is inappropriate; additionally, the phrase should be "into recession" => A is wrong
"Assuming hypothetically" is redundant; additionally, the phrase should be "out of a slump" => Only one of the words can be used here.=> C is wrong.
"a temporary stimulus" is the correct phrase => D is wrong.
The term "effect" should be used instead of "affect" => E is wrong.
Hence, only B is correct
