Answer and Explanation

Answer:its mostly rich members to slow from 2.8% in 2010 to 2.3% in 2011,

Explanation:
The OECD is singular (that is why the verb is 'expects' rather than expect; the pronoun has to be consistent, hence its is necessary- their is incorrect. 'mostly rich members' is correct, 'their most rich members’ is vague. 'from' needs to be followed by 'to', not 'and.' Option 4 corrects these errors.
