that引导的从句和WH-引导的从句可以做主语，这种情况一般可以用it做形式主语，如:
It was said that...和That ... was said是一个意思。
ING分词可以做主语。
这道题Because引导的从句不能做主语，所以AB错误。C的plants和become an invasive不对应，不能说一个复数成为一个单数。E的后面那个become应该是多出来的。如果不多，意思也不对。

if 'being' were a modifier, then it wouldn't make sense in its current location, as you'll soon see:

this sentence has the following form: X does not make...
therefore, whatever goes in the 'x' slot has to be, or function as, a noun. this rules out a-b immediately (these are subordinate clauses, which can't function as nouns).

in choices c-d-e, the 'being' is a gerund (the -ing form that functions as a noun, as in the sentence taking overdoses of vitamins isn't good for your health). since gerunds function as nouns, that structure is permissible.

search from the internet for cder comment as follows:

- Usually, I see "That/What/Whoever/etc S+V+O" functions as a subject. Can "Because S+V+O" functions as a subject?

no.

"because" acts like "although", "while", "even though", and so on.
you can't make a subject out of "although s+v+o", nor from any of the others.
