Five statements are given about demonetisation and currency transitions. Four of them form a coherent paragraph about smooth currency changeovers such as the adoption of the euro. From the given options, choose the statement that does NOT fit logically into this passage.

Introduction / Context:
This “odd sentence out” question focuses on demonetisation and currency transitions, including examples from countries adopting the euro. Your job is to see which sentence does not belong naturally in a single, tightly focused paragraph about specific examples of smooth currency transitions and their impact.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Option A: Describes “this form of demonetization” where citizens are given enough time to trade old bills for new.
• Option B: States that in these scenarios there is minimal economic and social disruption.
• Option C: Gives an example of Lithuania's transition from the litas to the euro in 2015.
• Option D: Extends the euro examples with Germany, France, and other eurozone countries.
• We assume the passage aims to illustrate smooth, well-planned currency transitions using the euro adoption as the primary case study.

Concept / Approach:
Sentences B, C, and D can easily form a flowing paragraph about specific cases of smooth currency transitions and the minimal disruption they caused. B is a general statement about what happens “in these scenarios” (well-planned transitions), and C and D provide concrete examples from the eurozone. Sentence A, however, introduces a broader, somewhat generic description of a particular “form of demonetization”, without directly tying itself to the euro examples. It reads more like a separate explanatory sentence that would typically precede a more detailed discussion of different demonetisation methods, rather than belonging inside a tightly focused euro-adoption paragraph.

Step-by-Step Solution:
Look at C and D first: they clearly belong together. C mentions Lithuania’s smooth transition to the euro in 2015, and D immediately continues with “as did Germany and France’s adoption of the euro in cash form in 2002, and so on with all 19 countries that have joined the eurozone.”Now consider B: “In these scenarios, there is minimal economic and social disruption.” This sentence fits perfectly as a summary of what C and D illustrate – the smoothness of such transitions.Together, B, C, and D form a logical sequence: general principle (B) → Lithuania example (C) → more eurozone examples (D).Sentence A: “With this form of demonetization, citizens are given enough time to trade in the old bills for the new,” introduces a generic type of demonetisation but does not explicitly mention the euro or the specific examples that follow.It could belong in a broader discussion of demonetisation strategies worldwide, but is less tightly connected to the euro-focused examples than B, C, and D are to each other.

Verification / Alternative check:
Construct a coherent paragraph with B, C and D: “In these scenarios, there is minimal economic and social disruption. When Lithuania left the litas and adopted the euro in 2015, its currency transition went smoothly, as did Germany and France’s adoption of the euro in cash form in 2002, and so on with all 19 countries that have joined the eurozone.” This is a compact, logical passage explaining that smooth transitions cause little disruption, with eurozone cases as evidence. Sentence A could precede this paragraph and introduce the idea of “this form of demonetisation” more broadly, but when we are forced to keep only four sentences in one coherent passage, A is the one that can be removed while keeping the paragraph tightly focused on euro transitions.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Removing B would leave C and D as examples without any summarising statement about their impact, weakening the passage. Removing C or D would break the chain of multiple examples that strengthen the point about euro countries. On the other hand, A is more general and does not explicitly reference the euro or the examples mentioned later; it can be omitted without harming the internal coherence of the remaining three sentences.

Common Pitfalls:
Because demonetisation and currency changeovers are related concepts, it is easy to assume that any general statement on demonetisation fits the paragraph. However, paragraph-coherence questions demand that you look for the tightest thematic grouping. Here, the strongest group is the trio that focuses specifically on euro adoption and its smooth execution; a single general sentence about “this form of demonetisation” stands slightly outside that core group.

Final Answer:
The sentence that does not fit as neatly into the euro-focused passage is “With this form of demonetization, citizens are given enough time to trade in the old bills for the new,”.
