Re: The Taboo Options on GMAT-Having been, being [#permalink]
I just came across another taboo. Pronouns such as Placeholder "It". I never really thought of them as a bs option and struck it off right away but I observed there is some fishy business with this (It is raining type of sentences)

I have just seen this post regarding usage of being, after taking my GMAT online exam the day before yesterday. I remember in SC I got nearly about 3-4 questions which have being in it 2-3 answer choices, Really put me in a bad position to eliminate or not because it is used as a verb and used as a modifier at the beginning of the sentence and as a Noun modifier.
