professor’s philosophy

[nick_zen]

According to the professor’s philosophy, the antidote to envy is one’s own work, always one’s own work: not thinking about it, not assessing it, but simply doing it.
(A) one’s own work, always one’s own work: not thinking about it, not assessing it, but simply doing it
(B) always work; because you don’t think about it or assess it, you just do it
(C) always one’s own work: not thinking about or assessing it, but simply to do it
(D) not to think or assess, but doing one’s own work
(E) neither to think about one’s own work nor to assess it, it is always simply doing it


please let me know the line of reasoning and answer.

[krovvidy]

IMO A ... chose it because other choices have obvious flaws ...

(B) always work; because you don’t think about it or assess it, you just do it ---> "always work" distorts the meaning
(C) always one’s own work: not thinking about or assessing it, but simply to do it ---> "not thinking about" & "but simply to do it" are not parallel
(D) not to think or assess, but doing one’s own work ---> "not to think" & "but doing" are not parallel
(E) neither to think about one’s own work nor to assess it, it is always simply doing it ---> "to think" & "to asses" are not parallel to "doing it"

IMO A
Explanation same as krovvidy

[scorpion.ks]

Agreed with A.

only || one, not thinking about it, not assessing it, but simply doing it.

(Though, my non-native ears would have preferred first part with "and" in b/w..........."one’s own work, and always one’s own work)

[kamal.tejnani]

B... seems to be right... would love to know the correct ans

[mannu08]

IMO ans is A.

[vs8980]

A is the best, rest all have parallelism flaws.
@ kamal - b talks only about work instead of one's own work

[bose]

imo A. b alters meaning by saying antidote is always to work because..., but the actual sentence gives no such causal relationship.

[nick_zen]

OA is A
