From the words or group of words lettered A to D, choose the word or group of words that best completes each of the following sentences.
....................a new teacher, she does not know much about the behaviour of the students
Answer Details
The most appropriate word to complete the sentence is "Being".
The sentence is in the present tense and requires a present participle to form a present continuous tense. The phrase "she does not know much about the behaviour of the students" suggests that the speaker is describing a current situation.
The word "being" is a present participle that can be used to form a present continuous tense, and it makes sense in the sentence as it suggests that the lack of knowledge is due to the teacher's newness to the school or the students. The other options, "Having been," "Been," and "Having being," do not form a correct present continuous tense and do not fit well in the sentence.
Therefore, option A) "Being" is the best word to complete the sentence.
