Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is option 2 i.e. As merely a reflection of their bright future.
- The sentence says that people would see bitcoin's current price as only the reflection of their bright future.
- Here, 'merely' is used for 'reflection'.
- But, 'reflection' is a noun so it requires an adjective to emphasise it.
- While 'merely' is an adverb.
- Hence, it should be 'as a mere reflection'.
The correct sentence will be-
People would see bitcoin’s current price rise as a mere reflection of their bright future as a stateless currency.
