aragonn can you please elaborate why having is wrong in Option DE? Having is used in ans option D E as a verb-ing modifier and It is modifying the preceding clause by making sense with the sub.

Appreciate your input

Happy to respond my friend. First let's see the detail usage and then understand the meaning here.

Quote:
Having is used to introduce a clause in which you mention an action which had already happened before another action began.
Ex - He arrived in India, having left Singapore on last Monday.

In this case there is no action, on top of that we can put one other action. Just noticed that there is one more thing wrong with E. You see first part is saying a positive statement and 2nd part changed the meaning of it. Something like 'but' or 'However' should be used.

Hope it helped.

Hi! The verb will be implied. For example:

He is smart but lazy.

This is equivalent to:

He is smart but (is) lazy.
