Coordination of monetary policy

by soumyopriyosaha » Fri Jan 29, 2010 8:40 am
Although the coordination of monetary policy can help facilitate the orderly financing of existing imbalances, it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant in the absence of an appropriate fiscal adjustment.

(A) it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant
(B) it is unlikely that the size of their effect would be significant
(C) affecting their sizes are not likely to be significant
(D) the significance of their effect on its size is unlikely
(E) its effect on their size is not likely to be significant

My pick is E, its correctly modifying the coordination of monetary policy

imo E

(A) it is unlikely that its effect on their size is significant

it is unlikely that is wordy and unlikely that is not the correct idiom

(B) it is unlikely that the size of their effect would be significant

same as A

(C) affecting their sizes are not likely to be significant

the subject of the previous clause is coordination which is singular and affecting modifies coordination so their is incorrect S/V issue

(D) the significance of their effect on its size is unlikely
coordination effect on imbalances which should be its effect on their size
inverted S/V

(E) its effect on their size is not likely to be significant
correct
its refer to coordination and their to imbalances
