OG11紫皮04请教

4．The
voluminous personal papers of Thomas Alva Edison reveal that his inventions
typically sprang to lire not in a flash of inspiration but evolved slowly
from previous works．

(A)  sprang to life not in a flash of inspiration
but evolved slowly

(B)  sprang to lire not in a flash of inspiration
but were slowly evolved

(C)  did not spring to life in a flash of inspiration
but evolved slowly

(D)  did not spring to life in a flash of
inspiration but had slowly evolved

(E)  did not spring to life in a flash of
inspiration but they were slowly evolved

错选了E, 但选C的话，后面的evolved slowly的时态是否有问题？按照OG解释，如果和not后面的spring平行，evolve就可以了吧。请大牛们赐教。

因为E被动不好。
