The bank acknowledged that they are and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts to deal with the precipitous fall of the dollar against the yen and the dislocations reflected in the stock market decline.
A. they are and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
B. they are and will continue to experience difficulties as they attempt
C. it is and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
D. it is experiencing and will continue to experience difficulties as they make an attempt
E. its difficulties are likely to continue as it attempts
A. they are and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
B. they are and will continue to experience difficulties as they attempt
C. it is and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
D. it is experiencing and will continue to experience difficulties as they make an attempt
E. its difficulties are likely to continue as it attempts
Having trouble accepting E as the answer. Doesn't it change the meaning of the sentence (the banks ARE and WILL continue to experience, however option E says likely to continue)
Can someone explain why E remains the best choice?

A they are and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
B they are and will continue to experience difficulties as they attempt
C it is and will continue to experience difficulties as it attempts
D it is experiencing and will continue to experience difficulties as they make an attempt
E its difficulties are likely to continue as it attempts
So we are all clear with why A,B and D are wrong-bank is a collective noun and is thus singular.
Now comming to the C and E, as we read the sentence we can see that the main verb of the sentence is acknowledged(past tense) and its a grammer rule that 'will'
becomes 'would' if written in past tense. and that's why C is wrong. We are left with only E , Which is correct.
