Each question has a sentence that has an underlined part. Choose the option which rephrases the underlined part in the most appropriate manner in terms of grammar and usage. Car sales in the country rose at an annualized rate of 7.8% in June, helped by a spate of new models and falling borrowing costs bringing new buyers back.
Explanation:
Option 2 is incorrect. ‘Luring of new models’ is awkward usage and changes the meaning of the sentence. ‘Spate’ of new models gives a more coherent meaning as in ‘a great number’ of new models. Option 3 is logically incorrect. ‘Bringing of new models back’ is a contradiction in itself. Secondly, the borrowing costs were falling not rising and thirdly, the number of new buyers was not falling, but increasing. Option 4 is logically incorrect. ‘Falling in new models and spate in new models’ makes no logical sense and contradicts itself. Secondly, ‘bringing back the borrowing costs’ is also incorrect. It should read, ‘falling borrowing costs’. Ideas in option 1 are coherent. Hence, the correct answer is option 1.
