Maris, a fund manager from Europe, who said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual due to the threat of tariffs, to increase his position in companies such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which is dominating domestic markets.
A. who said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual due to the threat of tariffs, to increase his position in companies such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which is dominating domestic markets.
1. Due to is incorrect
2. The more than usual trading is because of the higher tariffs. Increasing his stake in domestic-market oriented companies is another action. This is a subtle point.
3. 'Which' points to the companies and not to the Alibaba Group. Hence, we need plural 'are.'
B. said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual because of the threat of tariffs, has increased his position in companies such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which are dominating their domestic markets.
1. In this simple sentence, 'said' and 'has increased are two verbs for the subject Maris not connected by a proper conjunction (called double-verbing)
C. when asked, said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual due to the threat of tariffs, has increased his position in companies such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which are dominating their domestic markets.
1. Due to is wrong
2. Double verbing as in B.
D. said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual because of the threat of tariffs with an increase in his position in companies like Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which are dominating their domestic market.
1. threat of tariffs with an increase in his position - doesn't convey any meaning
2. Use of 'like' is wrong
3. Their domestic 'market' is wrong. It should be domestic 'markets.'
E. who said that he has been “tactically” trading more than usual because of the threat of tariffs, has increased his position in companies such as Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holdings Ltd, which are dominating their domestic markets.
