All statements are incorrect as per the passage.

Refer to: ‘.Though Brexit’s final form is unclear, only the softest of departures would keep Britain in the single market.

As per the underlined statements above, only option A makes sense and conveys the right reason for the importance of the Single market.

Simple present tense 

• We use the simple present tense when an action is happening right now, or when it happens regularly

• The instructions given below should be followed while changing a simple past sentence to a passive voice.

  • Always use the third form of the main verb(sold) in passive form.
  • At last line up the remaining part.
