answer explanation: 

<p style="">The correct answer is (B) so.</p><p style="">The sentence in question utilizes the "so... that..." pattern, which is a common grammatical structure in English used to indicate that something is done to such a degree that it leads to a result. Here's how the pattern is applied in this sentence:</p><p style="">"Economic and social change in Africa is changing so rapidly that it is becoming hard to ignore Africa in world affairs."</p><p style="">Here, Africa is changing "so" quickly "that" people can't ignore it anymore in world discussions. "So" shows just how fast the change is, and "that" introduces what this fast change is causing: Africa becoming more noticeable.<br></p>
