Most insomnia is not an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications, anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

an illness or a physical condition so much as a symptom of another problem that may simply be a reaction to certain medications

an illness or a physical condition so much as symptomatic of another problem that may be a simple one, like a reaction caused by certain medications

so much an illness or a physical condition but a symptom of another problem that may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction

so much an illness or a physical condition, but it is a symptom of another problem, maybe a simple one like certain medications causing a reaction

so much an illness or a physical condition but symptomatic of another problem, maybe simply a reaction to certain medications

顾风

reaction to足够了，这样B，C，D排除。

E似乎是没有补足as

答案是A吗？

我觉得因该是C,

里面有一个 not but 结构,另外还有一个so that 结构

c,e结构平行,感觉比较好,

C的that从句

may be as simple as when certain medications cause a reaction,anxiety about travel, or stress before a job interview.

symptom of another problem 不能和 when 比较

所以我觉得答案是 E

c有点问题，因为 certain medications, anxiety about travel与tress 是平行关系。

I agree,  

c有点问题，因为 certain medications, anxiety about travel与tress 是平行关系。

A is the most concise.  It is of good grammatical construction, parallelism, and diction. symptomatic of another problem in e is not idiomatic, symptom is better.
