This one is from an old paper test.


By merging its two publishing divisions, the company will increase their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent, a market ranging from obscure textbooks to mass-market paperbacks.
A. their share of the country's $21 billion book market from 6 percent to 10 percent,
a market ranging
B. from 6 percent to 10 percent its share of the $21 billion book market in the
country, which ranges
C. to 10 percent from 6 percent in their share of the $21 billion book market in the
country, a market ranging
D. in its share, from 6 percent to 10 percent, of the $21 billion book market in the
country, which ranges
E. to 10 percent from 6 percent its share of the country's $21 billion book market,
which ranges

OA is B. My answer was E. Thought the modifier which ranges ... incorrectly modifies country.
