Choose the answer which best rewords the italicized portion. If you think the original wording is best, choose option A.

The country of Belize’s economy is fueled greatly by foreign aid because it is based on an agrarian economy.
  1. The country of Belize’s
  2. Belize’s country
  3. Belize’s the
  4. Belize’s
Explanation
Answer: D - The best choice is “Belize’s”

“The country of” conveys the same meaning as “Belize.” Setting the phrase aside does not change the meaning of the sentence. “Belize’s country” and “Belize’s the” do not fit within the context of the sentence.
