'is' is a linking verb..
so both sides of the verb should match...
the other side has infinitive...so the start of the sentence should be wid infinitive..
A n B provide infinitive constructions but B is wordy..
So A..

IMO: A

But only because it seems to be the best alternative...

I'm not convinced with the "of" in "To read of..."

Can someone explain why it should be "To read of.." rather than simply "To read..."

Hey Adi,

Are you sure about this?

Reason behind Jogging for about 2 hours a day is to keep the body fit.

Is this construction wrong?
"Once you start working on something,
don't be afraid of failure and don't abandon it.
People who work sincerely are the happiest."

Hi experts,
I understand that there is parallelism issue, but I read in this forum that we should avoid starting the sentence with an infinitive on GMAT.
Ex: "It is human to err" instead of "To err is human".
with that note, how can we be sure that it is the right sentence? Please clarify.
Thank you,
Vj

Yes !! there is a parallelism issue here,
you must refer to non-underlined part of the sentence after the linking verb "is" : to remember.............., you cannot change this part. So in order to preserve parallelism, we must choose A.



The example you have stated is from MGMAT SC. Please note that this is a stylistic issue. We use stylistic expression to eliminate choices, when there are choices that do not have a grammatical error or a meaning error - as you choose the best out of five, we do not have the choice to create a sixth one. You should never give importance to stylistic error, without taking care of grammar and meaning.

I hope this helps
