A frightening storm has been lashing South Padre Island, forcing Natalie and Todd to postpone their wedding.
We are supposed to find error in the given question.
if I use "lashed" instead of "has been lashing", then also it will be a cause and effect modifier. Now the sentence becomes, A frightening storm lashed South Padre Island, forcing Natalie and Todd to postpone their wedding. I feel its correct, but its not correct as per Manhattan standards.
I can give you another example analogous to the above question.
About scored 760 in GMAT, increasing the average score in his class to 720.
Please help.

If we use "lashed", it would mean the storm is already over so no use of postponing the event. has been lashing means the storm is still there so its correct
