Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Correct Answer: BCAD
Explanation
• B introduces the subject and the main transitive verb (the government announced), making it the natural starting point of the sentence.
• C serves as the direct object of the verb (new reforms), establishing the sequence BC.
• A (aimed at) acts as a participial phrase modifying the reforms. The preposition at takes the gerund phrase in D (boosting economic growth) as its object, creating the mandatory pair AD.
Complete Sentence: The government announced new reforms aimed at boosting economic growth.
