Solution

The word ‘site’ means ‘a place where something is, was, or will be’ ’. This word is inappropriate here. The correct word is ‘cite’, which means ‘to mention something as proof for a theory or as a reason why something has happened’. Critics often cite the potential for these funds to trade at a share price that is not aligned with the value of the underlying securities.
