No Abhishek. The answer is C. Experts, can you please help? I chose A. What does the sentence mean?

'Asset allocators create portfolios, often in the form of mutual funds' and this is done with an intention to turn in good results in both 'bull" and "bear" markets. That's why I chose A. but the answer is C. If C is chose, won't it mean that the MUTUAL FUNDS were intended to turn in good results in both 'bull" and "bear" markets?

Someone please explain.

Hi Winner2013,

For this SC, it helps to ignore the intervening phrase. Try reading it this way....

"Asset allocators create portfolios...with the intention to turn in good results in bull and bear markets...

Notice the word "to" after the underlined portion of the sentence. We need an idiom that uses the word "to" and logically follows the opening part of the sentence.

The only answer that matches is the correct one.
