IMO A.

Very similar to OG 10 Q 140 problem :)
Getting defeated is just a temporary notion, giving it up is what makes it permanent.

Business travel is singular, Please explain me guys why did you chose 'are'

Meaning of sentence as I see
No business travel = No money for airlines
First take: 640 (50M, 27V) - RC needs 300% improvement
Second take: coming soon..

HSPA.

"are" is used for declining revenues :)

Read it like this:

Decling Revenues.....blah blah blah blah blah, are.........

Declining revenues resulting from a decrease in business travel, a source of income without
here what is the 'source of income'.. Decreasing revenues 'are' not the source of income.. The source of income 'is' business travel.

Thanks for the previous help but I need more

"a source of income.." modifies the noun closest to it, i.e. "business travel". So the source of income is business travel. Which you are absolutely dead on!

I am not sure if I understand your query.
