I don't understand how the modifier "encouraging" is correct in this question, shouldn't it be encouraged?
I chose D, i would like to know why it is incorrect, i know that an answer which contains "being" is wrong 90% of the time in GMAT SC, but here i dont understand why, may someone explain when it is right to use being?
thank you so much

Dear benyahalom,
I'm happy to weigh in on this.
Something is funky here. You are perfectly correct --- there is no way that (C) is correct. It needs a full verb (e.g. "encouraged") instead of a participle ("encouraging"). Both choices (C) & (E) commit the famous missing verb mistake. See:
https://gmat.magoosh.com/lessons/914-the ... rb-mistake
I was looking for this question and the correct OA. Either there's a mistake, and the OA is not (C), or this question is just a very faulty question. ---- or both!!! If (C) is not the answer, it certainly can't be (E) either, and each of the other three answers is too awkward to be a correct answer on the GMAT SC.
My friend, have you every heard the sarcastic expression, "Free, and worth it" ? That's what I'd say we have here. The web is loaded with free GMAT SC questions, but many of them are of exceptionally poor quality. Here's a high quality question:

Many of the articles on this free blog also have high quality questions:

Does all this make sense?

In option C, there is no verb in sentence. Could you share you source for that question?
I think you are absolutly right. Despite of starting with 'being', I believe that the true answer is D.
Both C and E has no verb in sentence.
Both A and B has wrong modifier.
