Correct option is D
Option (d) contains an error.
The verb "been" is incorrect in this sentence because it requires a helping verb such as
"has" or
"had" to be grammatically correct.
Instead, the correct form should be
"be" (as "can" is a modal verb and should be followed by the base form of the verb).
Corrected sentence:
The thing about anger is that it can either
be a helpful emotion or a discouraging one.
Grammatical rule used:
·
Modal verbs (can, could, shall, should, etc.) must always be followed by the
base form of the verb, not past participles like "been."
Example:
· Incorrect: He can
been late sometimes.
· Correct: He can
be late sometimes.
