Hi rahul

This question is real tough
I used the POE and A does not seem to connect to the whole sentence
B does not have mention of who is doing this
C seems awkward
D again has no mention for who is doing it
E seems somewhat parallel and as such i am not able to point any errors in it

I might be wrong
Whats the OA?

The sweat of hard work is not to be displayed. It is much more graceful to appear favored by the gods

Thanks guys...OA is E, but have to admit that it is a tough question.
I was worried about possessive pronouns. Got it right now, and encountered one in wimbledon.org

You have to hope that Roger Federer’s opponents don’t decide that the perfect piece of pre-match preparation is a quick glance at his career statistics...sweet!!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
