Each question has a set of four sequentially ordered statements. Each statement can be classified as one of the following:

• Facts (F), which deal with the pieces of information that one has heard, seen or read, and which are open to discovery or verification.

• Inferences (I), which are conclusions drawn about unknown, on the basis of the known.

• Judgments (J), which are opinions that imply approval or disapproval of persons, objects, situations and occurrences in the past, the present or the future.

Select the answer option that best describes the set of four statements:

(A) "Hot.Cool.Yours" is one of Russia’s slogans for the Olympic games.

(B) For the first time since 1991 global average income per head is falling. Even as growth in emerging markets has come to a halt, the rich economies look set to shrink.

(C) Financial markets promised prosperity; instead they have brought hardship.

(D) Does the quirkiness of the slogan have something to do with the vagaries of Russian-English translation? Yes, partially, although it sounds equally awkward in Russian and plenty of Russians were thrown for a loop by its announcement, even if they have since come to embrace it.
