Piao Jinhui was elected president of the Republic of Korea in February, 2013 by a ______ majority, ______ a brand new start of the country. A. narrow; marking B. light; having marked C. light; marking D. narrow; having marked

The correct answer is A. narrow; marking.

Here's why:

"narrow" fits because it suggests that Piao Jinhui's victory in the election was by a small or close margin, which is often implied in political contexts.

"marking" works because it indicates that this event was a defining moment or signal for the start of something new for the country.

So the sentence would read: "Piao Jinhui was elected president of the Republic of Korea in February, 2013 by a narrow majority, marking a brand new start of the country."
