Improve the bracketed part of the sentence.

Whatever said and done, (not less vital) is the future of the border separating Northern Ireland from the Irish Republic.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3, i.e. no less vital.

  • Using 'no' is accurate because it acts as a determiner that determines the quantity of vitality of the mentioned country's situation. 'Not' is an adverb and this phrase does not have any apparent verb after it to add any meaning towards, hence cannot be used in this context.
