A ________ rate of inflation makes exports difficult.
Show Hint
- great
- high
- large
- tall
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
This question checks whether you know which adjective naturally goes with the word "rate" in English. Native speakers describe rates, whether of inflation, interest, or growth, using "high" or "low," almost never any other size word.
Testing each option against that pattern makes the answer clear. "Great rate of inflation" sounds forced and is not common usage. "Large rate of inflation" is also unnatural, since "large" usually modifies countable or measurable quantities like amounts or numbers, not rates. "Tall" is reserved for physical height and never applies to abstract measurements like inflation.
"High," on the other hand, is the standard collocation used across finance and general English whenever a rate or level is being described. The correct answer is option 2, high, giving the sentence "A high rate of inflation makes exports difficult."
