我个人认为,这题有点儿特殊。不能光考虑not... but...平行,否则,明显没有答案。所以对这个题,显然不能再死抠这个点。

我就不详尽地分析了。

但是显然:

C不通顺,宾语从句的主语是mind还是it?很不清楚。错。

D还敢用it being,E还敢用one's being?错!

A呢?相比to do,as a way of doing不简洁。不光不简洁,而且这种表达,容易误解为but后面是与主句平行。所以错。

B这种表达虽然在GMAT中不常见,但还是很好理解的。此处其实不是not... but...之类的问题。but在这里就是个简单的转折作用,所以根本不要考虑not... but...的平行问题。but可不可以用来连接be动词和实意动词间的转折呢?当然可以了,所以就这么简单。而且B的表达中,没有逗号,从句的主语就是一个mind,简洁,没有歧意。所以就是它了。

有逗号就怎么就不对了?
