    Let’s rule out to obvious wrong answers- D (“in its shares” makes no sense), C (“a market ranging” starts a new sentence), and B(“in the country” shouldn’t be there, the country’s makes more sense). This leaves A and E.

    Personally I like A, because it puts the subject (share of the market) first, so it’s clearer. However, the second part of the sentence then becomes confusing… so I’m not entirely sure.

    Any calls?

    A is the correct answer. B- The company will increase from 6 to 10 percent – the company won’t increase, the book market increases. C- Same problem as B D-Which ranges seem to modify the country and not the market. E-Rhetorican construction. the position of “its” makes the construction awkward.
