Clearer use of gerund

by Indradeep » Fri Sep 26, 2008 12:05 am
Is the usage "This is because of the river becoming..." or "This is because of the river's becoming"?
What is the correct grammar usage?

I think ' because of ' is always wrong in GMAT.

It is the latter...Gerund is preceded by a possessive..
