I think C is correct as its start with perfect subordinate clause. Because of is modifying verb which is also correct form. Please clarify if I am wrong.

2.Since his campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms had been eventually successful
3.Because of the eventual success of his campaigning for sanitary conditions in operating rooms
4.His campaign for sanitary conditions in operating rooms being eventually successful
5.Campaigning, eventually successfully, for conditions to be sanitary in operating rooms

Why is option D wrong? What is wrong with 'being'? Can someone please provide the grammatical logic behind this?

The answer is B: Past perfect + simple past is an exception and is gramaticaly correct. Using 'Had succesfully ", shows that the campaign is now over and then , he had named the company

I Manhattan SC, it is clearly written that almost always "being" brings redundancy and awkward sentence formation.

Hi jaspreetsra,

A typical SC question is meant to be solve in 60 to 90 seconds; to properly handle the ENTIRE Verbal section (and not have to rush just to finish), you can't spend 5 minutes on a single SC prompt.

How long have you been studying?
What materials have you been using during your studies?

Hi Rich,

Please suggest books for SC. I am following Manhattan 5th edition Sentence Correction.

DO I need to go for GRAIL ?

Thanks
