Although the first paragraph tells us that the real interest rate used to fluctuate, but currently remains high, there is no language anywhere in the passage to suggest that this was an intentional, or even incidental, consequence of the solution to the debt crisis. Rather, it's the cause of the crisis--the paragraph discussing the solution, paragraph 3, makes no mention of Real Interest because it isn't of interest (pardon the pun) to the analysis of efforts to solve the problem. Hope this helps!

I chose D.
I inferred from the term "provide little relief" that the benefit is only for a short term and has little or no effect in the long run. That is why D.
In E, the "sacrifice" takes the option to extremities. The banks are not "deliberately" sacrificing for short-term gains.

I think the correct answer is D as it is clearly mentioned in the last para that methods adopted by the bank helps debtor countries only in short run .
