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.

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
