The ministry asserts that improvements in sentiment indicators are evidence that the economy will dodge the uncertainty that had been caused earlier by the euro debt crisis and instead grow by 1.8 percent in 2014.

Review: The Ministry Asserts


Explanation

Creating a filter: when we read the prompt, maybe it has no error, so we go on to the answer choices.

Applying the filter: we have a 2 versus 3 grouping in how the answer choices begin. We are talking about evidence that supports a claim; the best way to introduce the claim is with the word "that." That leaves us with (A) and (E). Choice (E) has an objectionable phrase "with it instead growing." "With" is not properly a conjunction, and it's being used as one here. We review (B) through (D) to establish further that the wording is awkward, beyond the problem with them already mentioned. The correct answer is (A).
