(A) on productivity and
(B) long-term economic growth
(C) has a negative effect
(D) required for large economies
Choose the correct answer from the options given below
Solution
Option 1: (A), (B), (C), (D) -> Creates "on productivity and long-term economic growth has a negative effect required..." - grammatically incorrect, starts with preposition.
Option 2: (C), (A), (B), (D) -> Creates "has a negative effect on productivity and long-term economic growth required for large economies" - grammatically correct and meaningful.
Option 3: (C), (B), (D), (A) -> Creates "has a negative effect long-term economic growth required..." - missing preposition "on" after "effect", breaks the flow.
Option 4: (D), (B), (C), (A) -> Creates "required for large economies long-term economic growth has..." - illogical structure, verb placement is incorrect.
Hence, Option 2: (C), (A), (B), (D) -> The complete sentence reads: "Premature graying of the workforce has a negative effect on productivity and long-term economic growth required for large economies." This follows proper syntax with subject-verb-object structure and correctly uses the preposition "on" to connect the effect with its impact areas -> correct
