Many people feel that hard work deserves a reward. However, this is not true. Hard work should be its own reward, because such work intrinsically gives the worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily.

This is how i solved it in my mind..
Lets see each statement one at a time:
Many people feel that hard work deserves a reward
This may be a premise or some position the argument has taken. Lets read ahead to find out more.
However, this is not true
Bingo! The presence of however states that the previous statement was a counter premise and what will follow is the main conclusion. So, what is it that is true, lets read ahead to find out.
Hard work should be its own reward
This is it. This is the conclusion the author cites. But on what basis, lets read to find out.
because such work intrinsically gives the worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily
The presence of because suggests this is an evidence in support of the conclusion.
Hence E is correct
Hope its clear

Main Conclusion: However, this is not true. Why? Intermediate conclusion/Premise supporting main conclusion: Hardwork should be its own reward,(Premise supporting intermediate conclusion) because such work intrinsically gives the worker satisfaction when it is performed satisfactorily.
