The question presents a statement to complete: in the long run the British pound is [Select] vis-à-vis the US dollar in real terms.
Option 1: appreciating. This would mean that, relative to the US dollar, the pound gains value over time when adjusted for price level differences (real terms). If the premise from the previous question indicated conditions that drive the pound to strengthen in the long run, this option aligns with that scenario and is consistent with real exchange rate movement appreciating when home prices rise more slowly, productivity improves, or monetary fundamentals favor the pound. 
Option 2: maintaining a constant exchange rate. This would imply that the real exchange rate between the pound and the dollar remains stable over the long run. Such a scenario requires sustained policy and economic conditions that keep the rate on a flat trajectory. If the prior analysis pointed to a directional trend (either appreciation or depreciation) rather than stasis, this option would be less consistent with those implications. 
Option 3: depreciating. Choosing this would indicate that the pound weakens relative to the dollar in real terms over the long run. This would contrast with the given answer of appreciation and would be inconsistent if the prior question concluded that the pound should strengthen rather than weaken. 
Option 4: (the phrase) ‘vis-à-vis the US dollar in real terms’ is a reminder that we are talking about real, not nominal, movements. If someone selected depreciation or constant rate, they would need to justify why after controlling for inflation, the pound loses value or stays flat. Misunderstandings often come from conflating nominal exchange rate movements with real movements, or from neglecting inflation differentials.
In summary, the key distinction is whether the long-run fundamentals (like relative inflation, productivity, and policy) point toward a stronger pound in real terms, a stable real rate, or a weaker pound. Given the provided correct choice is appreciating, that option is the one that asserts the pound gains value in real terms against the dollar over time, consistent with a positive real trend. The other options describe scenarios that would imply no change or a decline in the pound’s real value, which would contradict the stated correct outcome if the prior context supports appreciation.
