Which of the following sentences best fits the blank to maintain the coherence of the passage?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The passage discusses issues that the government has not addressed despite the need for urgent attention.

2. The sentence following the blank talks about the strategic sale of public sector undertakings not progressing and the bad loan problem originating from previous government policies.

3. Option (c) "Much remains mired in bureaucracy even after the prime minister’s promises." fits perfectly because it highlights the stagnation and delays despite assurances, which aligns with the examples given after the blank.
