    C Only iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Both i & iii Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The second boldened phrase "resilience in an increasingly" is used correctly, but the first boldened phrase "annual meeting in Davos would serve" contains an error. The use of "would serve" is not ideal because the event is imminent, so "will serve" should be used instead. Hence, Only (i) is the correct answer.
