In the following sentence, the bracketed part is grammatically incorrect. Choose the option that best improves the sentence in terms of standard written English: She is expected to be a candidate of continuity and is also expected to take a stand for ("radically economic transformation").

Introduction / Context:
This sentence improvement question from English grammar tests how well you can recognise correct adjective forms and collocations in a formal context. The sentence talks about a candidate who is expected to support a particular kind of economic change. Your task is to choose the phrase that fits naturally and is grammatically correct in standard English, especially in the context of economics and public policy language.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Original sentence: She is expected to be a candidate of continuity and is also expected to take a stand for "radically economic transformation".
• The bracketed segment "radically economic transformation" is to be improved.
• The intended meaning is that she supports a strong or fundamental transformation of the economy.
• We assume the register is formal, as found in editorials, essays, or exam passages.

Concept / Approach:
The key concept here is how adjectives qualify nouns. In English, "economic" is the standard adjective that describes something related to the economy, while "radical" is an adjective that means fundamental or far reaching. "Radically" is the adverb form of "radical" and normally modifies verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs, not the noun "transformation" directly. Therefore, we look for a structure where two adjectives correctly modify the noun "transformation". Idiomatic political and economic writing frequently uses the phrase "radical economic transformation" to describe deep structural changes in the economic system.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Step 1: Identify the head noun in the bracketed phrase. The core noun is "transformation".Step 2: Decide which words must correctly describe this noun. We need words that express type and intensity of change: "economic" and "radical".Step 3: Check each option for correct part of speech and collocation with "transformation".Step 4: Notice that "radical economic transformation" uses two adjectives in a natural order: "radical" (degree) and "economic" (type), followed by the noun "transformation".Step 5: Confirm that the resulting phrase is both grammatically correct and commonly used in economics and political commentary.

Verification / Alternative check:
Read the full sentence with each option. "She is expected to take a stand for radical economic transformation" sounds fluent and natural, and clearly suggests that she supports fundamental changes in the economy. When you read the other options aloud, they sound awkward or incorrect, which confirms that only one option works well in educated written English. This is a good way to double check grammar questions: always test them in full context and listen for how natural the phrase feels.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:

• Option A: "radical economics transformation" uses "economics", which is the name of the subject or discipline, not the correct adjective form. The natural adjective is "economic", so this combination is not idiomatic.
• Option C: "radically economics transformation" uses "radically" as an adverb and "economics" as a noun, then "transformation" as another noun. The structure is confused and ungrammatical for this context.
• Option D: "No improvement" would keep the original "radically economic transformation", which misuses the adverb "radically" directly before a noun phrase and sounds unnatural.

Common Pitfalls:
Many learners are tempted to keep the adverb "radically" because they associate strong change with "radically different", but that pattern normally uses an adjective after "radically". When the head is a noun like "transformation", the preferred pattern is "radical transformation". Another pitfall is confusing "economics" (the subject) with "economic" (the adjective). Exams often hide small errors inside long sentences, so you must train yourself to zoom in on the grammatical core around the bracketed portion and ignore distractions such as extra clauses or political vocabulary.

Final Answer:
The best and grammatically correct improvement of the bracketed phrase is radical economic transformation.
