Official Explanation:
The non-underlined part of the sentence uses listening and relaxing so the underlined part should use practicing to get the parallelism right. Hence, eliminate C and D.
Options A and B unnecessarily use the words to be and for before practicing. This also breaks the parallelism. Hence, E is the correct answer.
