A
very tough
I narrowed it down to A & B, but B starts off with because; there is no need for a semicolon, plus it changes the meaning a bit-- it's not work per say, but rather one's own work.

Because i read some where "do it" is almost wrong in GMAT "almost wrong" is not always wrong, depending on the situation.I saw some convincing reasoning posted by some others. If you still not get the point, ask again.!  1800rajesh@gmail.com wrote: 54.
