Hi
Need help with this question. It is pretty confusing...

Thanks

The answer seems to be B

The above question, among other things, is testing the idiom usage-

Not so much X as Y

Hence A is correct.

This is a classic case of "the original sentence doesn't sound good, so most people will cross it off and pick something else." This happens on harder questions - they're trying to trick you! (This is also a more obscure idiom, so more evidence that this is a harder question.)

(Oh - Badri - B is what the tester picked, not the correct answer.)
