Die Preise sind ___ der Inflation deutlich gestiegen.

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D. infolge

  1. Step 1: A genitive preposition expresses the cause. Step 2. 'Infolge' takes the genitive and fits the sense. Answer: infolge. Why not the others: 'trotz' expresses contrast, 'obwohl' starts a clause and 'wegen dem' is colloquial.
