    1 / -0

    Directions For Questions

    Direction: Rearrange the following sentences (A), (B), (C), (D), (E), and (F) in a proper sequence to form a meaningful paragraph, then answer the questions that follow. 

    A) Because globalisation has linked EM financial markets more closely to long-term interest rates in the major centres, monetary and other policy choices in the EMs have faced new constraints. 

    B) Once their policy rates had been cut to almost zero, the major central banks in the advanced economies bought domestic long-term assets in order to reduce interest rates at longer maturities. 

    C) The long-term rates in the EMs have become more sensitive to yields in the major bond markets. 

    D) Perhaps because of sizable capital inflows into local EM bond markets, even short-term rates in EMs now seem to respond to changes in the term premium in US dollar markets. 

    E) Monetary policy dilemmas facing emerging market (EM) central banks have been made harder by years of expansionary monetary policy in the advanced economies. 

    F) This has reinforced a more durable and puzzling trend: the secular decline in real long-term rates that began years ahead of Quantitative Easing (QE) by the Federal Reserve.

    Which of the following should be the FOURTH sentence after rearrangement?

    Solutions

    The correct sequence is EBFACD. 

    After reading all the statements, we can decipher that the passage is about bond markets and monetary policy dilemmas for the emerging markets. 

    The introductory statement should be such that it introduces the main theme of the passage, thus statement E, which is free from any unintroduced elements as well as any connectives or pronouns, is the first sentence. 

    ‘Once their policy rates had been cut to almost zero’ in statement B is linked with ‘expansionary monetary policy.’ Statement B also discusses the effect of the first statement, hence it follows. 

    ‘Decline in real long-term rates’ of statement F is linked with reduce interest rates’ of statement B. Therefore, statement F logically follows. 

    CD is a mandatory pair because of ‘bond market.’ 

    Statement A is the reason for ‘more durable and puzzling trend.’ Therefore, statement A is the fourth statement. 

    Statement D is the reason for statement C. Therefore, statement D should logically follow statement C and thereby making pair CD follow A.
