Just as a bicycle chain may be too tight, so may one’s carefulness and conscientiousness be so tense as to hinder the running of one’s mind.

23. Which one of the following most closely parallels the reasoning used in the argument above?

(A) Just as a clock may be wound too tightly, so may one’s time be spent fruitlessly in the pursuit of perfection

(B) Just as a carousel may spin too quickly, so may one’s rapid concentration on several problems prevent a resolution of difficulties.

(C) Just as a machine may be oiled too much, so may one’s heavy drinking of alcoholic beverages lead to complete dissipation

(D) Just as a raging river may be frozen into stillness during the winter, so may one’s career falter at certain times of the year

(E) Just as a boxer may become too tense before a big fight, so may one’s personal concerns stand in the way of professional success

答案是b, a为什么不对？

原文：too tight (so tight as to hider...), so tense as to hinder

B: too quickly (so quickly as to prevent...), so rapid as to prevent

A逻辑上和结构上都不平行吧。

if it were otherwise saying that one spends her time without taking one minute break, it would be more similar to the stimulus. An semi-artist could have spent ten years in pursuit of the perfection of one single portrait. It does not sound like "wounding clock tightly".
