(A) Foreign investors, because of their growing confidence in their capability for making profitable investments in the United States, have been led
(B) Foreign investors, growing confident about their capability for making profitable investments in the United States, has led them
(C) Growing confidence in their ability to make profitable investments in the United States has led foreign investors
(D) Growing confidence in their ability for making profitable investments in the United States have led foreign investors
(E) Growing confident about their capabilities for making profitable investments in the United States, foreign investors have been led
Solution:
Subject-verb Agreement + Redundancy + Idiom
B is awkward as “has led them” refers to “foreign investors” which is weird.
D can be eliminated for using ‘have’ for ‘confidence’.
E is wordy and uses wrong tense form.
The only sensible choices are A and C. A is awkward in “because of their growing confidence…”
C is the best choice.
Alternately, “ability to make” is the only correct idiomatic usage among all the options. Thus, C is the best choice.
