Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. Flare up.
- We need to replace 'flair on' with 'flare up'.
- 'Flare up' means 'a sudden outburst of something' which makes a coherent sentence.
- 'Flair' means 'style' and it does not take 'on' after it.
The correct sentence will be-
Higher crude oil prices have doubtlessly provided a significant fiscal boost in the past several months, although any flare up going forward can lead to a price spiral that would have other untoward consequences as well.
