PREP 71 求教求教

A. because they

B. because it is

C. being
genetically engineered does not make it any more likely that plants will

D. being
genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely to

E. being
genetically engineered does not make a plant any more likely that it will
become

 标准答案给的是D

我看过在论坛上一个NN的语法笔记说，看到being的结构在GMAT的SC中可以秒杀啊

副词SIMPLYLY加上了BEING GENETICALLY ENGINEERED  这个按照FIND大哥说

“1、being done是现在分词的被动表达，用来做主语。"是做主语成分,现在分词可以做主语么？？

我觉得具体问题具体分析，being不一定错啊

eg

315.Framed by traitorous colleagues, Alfred Dreyfus was imprisoned for twelve years before there was exoneration and his freedom.
(A) there was exoneration and his freedom
(B) he was to be exonerated with freedom
(C) being exonerated and freed
(D) exoneration and his freedom
(E) being freed, having been exonerated

也选了C啊

A B beacuse的clause+verb 错

只有在CDE选  likely to do sth 所以选了D

望指教~

主语可以用下面这些成分表示：

名词、代词、数词、动名词、不定式、词组、从句、名词化的其它词类。
