Answer और ExplanationAnswer and explanation
Answer: (D) underlied the funding strategy.
It-cleft का ढाँचा सही है: It was the misalignment … that cast doubt …, was और that के बाद एकवचन क्रिया के साथ। not only on … but also on … समानांतर है। त्रुटि भाग 4 में है: underlie का भूतकाल underlay है, इसलिए underlied गलत है।
✓
… but also on the assumptions that underlay the funding strategy.
सरल अर्थ: अनुमानित और वास्तविक आँकड़ों के बीच का अंतर ही था जिसने न केवल गणनाओं पर, बल्कि वित्तपोषण रणनीति की मूल मान्यताओं पर भी संदेह पैदा किया।
The It-cleft frame is right: It was the misalignment … that cast doubt …, with was and a singular verb after that. The pair not only on … but also on … is parallel. The error is in part 4: the past tense of underlie is underlay, so underlied is wrong.
✓
… but also on the assumptions that underlay the funding strategy.
