Official Explanation:
The simple past tense feared is incorrect since two events occurred in the past at different times (i.e., the fear preceded the release of the report) and as a result, one must use the past perfect tense. feared should be replaced by had feared to show that the fear occurred before the release of the report.
A. the simple past tense is incorrectly used and should be replaced by the past perfect tense
B. the phrase the continuation of losses of shareholder value is too wordy and not concise
C. the past perfect tense is correctly used; the sentence is concise
D. the simple past tense is incorrectly used and should be replaced by the past perfect tense
E. the phrase a continuing loss of investors' is not concise and is redundant as the phrase investors' shareholder value repeats the same idea
