Question

Which of the following phrases should fill the blank in (D) to make the sentence contextually accurate and meaningful?

The system was designed to help people on low incomes deal with unexpected hardship, (D):------------------, or domestic crises such as broken boilers, house fires and flooding.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. The sentence before the blank refers to the system helping people on low incomes to manage unexpected hardships.

2. The phrase to fill (D) must logically describe the kind of hardship the system addresses.

3. Among the options, only "such as a lack of money caused by benefit payment problems" clearly explains the type of hardship, linking it directly to financial difficulties caused by delays or sanctions in benefits.

4. Other options either do not fit the context or change the meaning of the sentence.

**Answer:** such as a lack of money caused by benefit payment problems
