Read the sentence below and answer the question that follows.
each economic sector plays a vital role in a nation’s economy.

decision
b.
activity
c.

d.

explanation:

role is closest to part because when replacing words, "playing a vital decision," "playing a vital activity," and "playing a vital dollar" don't make logical sense. the only meaningful choice is "playing a vital part."
