In each of the questions given below a sentence is given with three words in bold. Choose the option which gives the correct sequence of these words to make the sentence grammatically and contextually correct.
The central bank’s recent policy shift is seen as a response to (A) inflationary (B) persistent (C) pressure on the currency.

The correct option/sequence is BAC.

Let us analyze the sentence and the given words step-by-step to find the correct grammatical and contextual order:
The original sentence with the words in their initial positions is:
"The central bank’s recent policy shift is seen as a response to (A) inflationary (B) persistent (C) pressure on the currency."

Step 1: Identify the parts of speech and roles of the highlighted words:
- inflationary is an adjective.
- persistent is also an adjective.
- pressure is a noun.

Step 2: Analyze the grammatical structure of the sentence:
The phrase "response to [word 1] [word 2] [word 3] on the currency" requires a noun phrase. Here, the noun "pressure" is the head noun modified by the prepositional phrase "on the currency" ("pressure on the currency"). Therefore, pressure (C) must remain at the end of the sequence to be correctly modified.
This means (C) is correctly placed in the third position.

Step 3: Arrange the modifying adjectives:
We need to determine the correct order for the adjectives "persistent" and "inflationary" preceding the noun "pressure".
- "persistent" describes the continuous nature of the pressure.
- "inflationary" describes the type of pressure.
In English grammar, general or opinion/observation adjectives (like "persistent") typically precede classifying or type-identifying adjectives (like "inflationary"). Thus, "persistent inflationary pressure" is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful.

Conclusion:
Placing B (persistent) in the first position, A (inflationary) in the second position, and keeping C (pressure) in the third position forms the coherent sentence:
"The central bank’s recent policy shift is seen as a response to persistent inflationary pressure on the currency."
This corresponds to the sequence BAC.
