Question

Select the most appropriate option to substitute the highlighted segment in the given sentence. If there is no need to substitute it, select ‘No substitution required’.
Being seen the film once he doesn’t want to see it again.

A.

Because seeing the film

B.

If seeing a film

C.

Having seen the film

D.

No substitution required

Correct option is C


The correct option to substitute the highlighted segment in the sentence "Being seen the film once he doesn’t want to see it again." is option (c) Having seen the film.
Explanation:
· The correct phrase should be "Having seen the film once," which implies that since he has already seen the film, he does not want to see it again. The phrase "Having seen" correctly introduces a past participle that conveys a completed action, which affects his current desire not to see the film again.
Why Other Options Are Incorrect:
· (a) Because seeing the film: This phrase suggests a continuous or ongoing action, which is not the intent of the original sentence.
· (b) If seeing a film: This conditional format does not fit the context, as the sentence describes a completed action, not a conditional scenario.
· (d) No substitution required: The original "Being seen the film" is grammatically incorrect and doesn't convey the intended meaning correctly. It incorrectly uses the passive voice ("being seen").
Grammatical Rule Involved:
· Perfect Participle Construction: "Having + past participle" is used to indicate that an action was completed in the past and has relevance to the present context. This construction is often used to explain reasons or causes of actions.
