E-- presence of 'being' still makes it correct?

ashwink · Answer

I went with E. since it seemed most logical but still can't get a hang of the whole sentence structure. Waiting for expert's analysis.

ashwink · Answer

It should be allowed "to have" and not allowed "having". Plus, the tense is wrong for that usage.

No, it is not - this seems to be a flawed question.

brs1cob · Answer

i was confused between A and E.

'being' is generally wrong in GMAT.

i opted for option A.

there is no punctuation in the entire sentence.

and what could be the correct form of this sentence if it appears in GMAT.
