The question tests the concept of modifiers. The sentence provides three pieces of information:
• Every three months
• Financial Services Corp. releases a recap of account activities
• provides investors with the basis for buying or selling shares of stock
The best option thus would be the one that puts these three pieces of information together in the most logical way.
The second and third bulleted points must also be put in the correct order. It is more logical that the third point follow the first – Financial services corp. releases a recap of account activities and this recap provides investors with the basis for buying or selling shares of stock.
Option B reverses this order, and is therefore incorrect.
Option D has an error of verb – it has the perfect participle (having released), but the phrase “every three months” indicates a habitual action. The simple present tense should be used in the sentence to convey a habitual action.
In Option E, the form of the third modifier is incorrect. It should have been phrased as “providing investors with the basis for buying or selling shares of stock”. In Option E, the verb form ‘provides’ has been used instead of the participle form 'providing', thereby leaving that part of the sentence incomplete without a subject.
In Option A, the last modifier starts with the relative pronoun ‘that’. A relative pronoun refers to the noun placed before it; in this option, the noun would be Financial Services Corp, conveying the meaning that it is the Financial Services Corp. that provides investors with the basis for buying or selling shares of stock. The meaning of the sentence is thus changed.
Therefore, C is the best option.
