The first blank should be filled with a smaller percentage as US pension funds generally invest less in foreign securities compared to British pension funds. Therefore, options (D) and (E) can be eliminated as they have higher percentages for US pension funds. Option (C) can also be eliminated as it suggests zero investment in foreign assets. Option (A) has a higher percentage for US pension funds than British pension funds, which is not likely considering the global nature of financial markets. Therefore, the best option is (B), with US pension funds holding approximately 5 percent of their assets in foreign securities compared to British pension funds investing approximately 20 percent of their funds in foreign assets.
