Correct Answer: 2


Solution : The correct choice is the second option.

Explanation : The word symptomatical should be replaced with symptomatic, which means to serve as a symptom or sign of something undesirable. The adjective symptomatic is typically followed by the preposition "of" when used to describe a condition or characteristic.

Therefore, the correct sentence would be: "The failure of the recent ministerial meeting in Buenos Aires is only symptomatic of a decline in its overall importance."
