my ans wud be ...

A

B) sounds perfect If I m wrong then this wud be the right choice... but what I believe the sentence is trying to convey here is that ''management should consider making appropriate revisons to change the set of investors OR abandon its plans'' its like this management should do X or do Y ....

C ) has the samae problem also ''for'' is odd quitye...

D- 'for' is odd quite odd...

E) parallel construction absent ''considering'' ''target'' and ''abandon''

hope that helps let me know If I was right...

HAVE FUN :)

I think established by is correct here. E makes more sense then other. First consider making changes and then target other inst. investors......

I wasted a lot of time on to understand estalbished for vs established by.

"Establised by" is correct in this context as we are comparing investment opportunity stated by management with the standard set by institutional investors.
Further, Consider making... consider targeting..consider abandoning is parallel.

B it is.

(E) it is.

Maintains proper parallelism.

Yes, it is E. Only this option is 100% parallel and at the same time offers correct auxilary verb contraction. Only one auxilary verb can be missed!

... management SHOULD consider makeing the appropriate revisions, [SHOULD] target a different set of investors, or [SHOULD] abandon its plans.

How is the question? Do you like it?

Stolyar: the question was good, I will help a person to cross check his/her parallelism concept.
