Can anyone provide a grammatical explanation to this one? thanks Guys whats wrong with E In the GMAT, avoid verbs of being as much as you can. Graham's becoming is just too awkward. Of course there might be other problems with that sentence, but I quickly eliminated it after I noticed that. Good luck
