    The central bank has done the heavy lift in the last

    few months and monetary policy may well be nearing its limits in so far as its ability to influence growth prospects is concerned.
    A monetary Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B prospects Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C lift Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D nearing Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E All are correct Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    The correct phrase should be "heavy lifting" rather than "heavy lift" in this context. "Heavy lifting" refers to performing the difficult or labor-intensive work, while "lift" alone does not convey the intended meaning here. Thus, option (3) is incorrect.
