Answer:
The correct answer is B: when short-term rates rise and they are unable to raise
Explanation:
When you look through all the choices, option D and E are first eliminated because they used "with" to start, when in fact the essay makes use of "when", which is correct. We want to have "when" in the sentences, hence we are left with three choices; A, B, and C.
Now, looking at the connectors of A, B, and C, Option A is connected with "on the other hand", Option B is connected with "and", while Option C is connected with "correspondingly".
"On the other hand" makes no sense as a connector because there is no contrast in the statement, and this eliminates option A. Similarly, it is incorrect to use "and" and "correspondingly", as this does not flow, thus eliminating C.
The correct answer is therefore B.
