• A. Shaping and Inter-connected World
• B. Towards a Better World
• C. Mutual Cooperation for Growth and Development
• D. Hand-in-Hand for a Better Future
• E.

Hint:

Keep track of the yearly themes of G20 Summits, as they reflect the primary focus of global leaders each year.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

The theme of the 2017 G20 Summit was "Shaping an Inter-connected World." This theme emphasized the importance of international cooperation and collective action to address global challenges, including economic development, climate change, and security issues. Why option (A) fits: The theme stresses the inter-connectedness of countries and their role in creating a cohesive world. Eliminations: (B), (C), and (D) are not in line with the theme announced at the summit. 

Answer 2

Recalling the host country's stated priority for that summit, building connections between economies, helps match the correct wording.

1. Shaping an Inter-connected World: this was the theme Germany set for the Hamburg summit, stressing global interdependence in trade, climate, and security.
2. Towards a Better World: a generic phrase that was not the official theme used.
3. Mutual Cooperation for Growth and Development: reads like a plausible summit slogan but was not the one adopted in 2017.
4. Hand-in-Hand for a Better Future: this phrase belongs to a different G20 edition, not the Hamburg summit.

The wording that matches Germany's official framing for the 2017 summit is Shaping an Inter-connected World.

Hence, the correct answer is Shaping an Inter-connected World.
