__________, in the year-ago period the current account deficit stood at $1·3 billion or 0·2% of the GDP.
Options
- AParticularly
- BNotably
- CSeriously
- DUnknowingly
Correct answer
B. Notably
Step-by-step solution
The sentence presents a significant statistical fact regarding the current account deficit. The word 'Notably' is used as a discourse marker to draw attention to an important or interesting fact, especially in financial or economic contexts. 'Particularly' is used to emphasize a specific part of something, which does not fit as an introductory marker here. 'Seriously' and 'Unknowingly' are contextually inappropriate for presenting economic data.
