As part of a unified scholarly approach, Symeon, an Eastern Orthodox saint often called “The New Theologian,”
collected (texts describing existing traditions)
and relayed them to his readers in a tone of (great devotion and authority) and borrowing from Asia some aspects of mystical practice.
A - is in the form of Symeon X and Y and Z. But the correct form is X,Y and Z. Or X and Y, Zing.
B - is in the form of X and Y, and Z. Again parallelism error.
C - tone of (great devotion) and (authority along with the aspects of mystical practice)
see the altered intent ? aspects incorrectly pointing to authority.
D - correct form. X and Y, Zing..
E - same problem as in C. tone of (great devotion) and (authority borrowing some aspects of ..) again authority is borrowing.? no. Symeon is borrowing.
D wins. Rule of parallelism. X, Y, and Z or X and Y, Zing.
