Please ask a question. Then it would be easy to focus.

This is the second sentence found in GMATPREP in which the use of BEING is correct.

Please see the use of being.

"Being" isn't always wrong, especially when it's a gerund (choice E) rather than a participle (choice D).

If there are other major erroers significant in other sentences, we can pick the sentence consisting 'being'.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, BEING is correct when it is used in the following ways:

1. Being is used in a passive sentence of continuous tense.
2. Being is used as gerund.

Thanks.
