SOLUTION
1) C
The correct preposition after ‘moves’ is ‘to’. Address is the correct form. Cores is an incorrect usage. The correct usage is core. Core concern means primary concern.
2) A
The correct usage is ‘wasn’t’ not ‘weren’t’. It should either be ‘ideas were’ or ‘idea was’. Hence, option A is the correct answer.
3)B
It has an error of preposition. At describes position at a specific point and is used with a larger place (a shop, bank, or airport) and before the names of group activities. ‘In’ refers to the position within large areas or in spaces that surrounds something on all sides. The given segment signifies the economic productivity within an agrarian society. The correct usage is ‘in’ and not ‘at’.
answer. ‘Would’ is used to preserve the future aspect when talking about the past. If we are writing about past events, we may use it to indicate something that was in the future at that point in time but is not necessarily in the future right now. ‘Could’ represents past of ‘can’ and when we want to convey something politely. Here,in this case, the future aspect of Bitcoin is being discussed, so would is the most suitable modal.
