答案E。我看到此题首先把E给杀了，就是因为这个being。求教各位牛牛Being在什么情况下是必错的？其实这个E不要being的话更简洁，我就觉得它多余了。

我也是头一次看见Being做subjet在GMAT里有正确的选项
同问
有大侠有详细的关于动名词做主语的解释，或者关于动名词做主语的其他题例么。

you're actually asking the wrong question; the question you should be asking is when you should eliminate "being".
the answer to that question is, ROUGHLY, that you should avoid "being" when expressing the IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS of some individual or thing. this is because "being" is usually unnecessary in such cases; there are simpler modifiers (such as appositives) that, while absolutely impossible to use in spoken language, are better in written language.
example:
being a cigar aficionado, john has strong opinions on when to use single-guillotine cigar cutters rather than double-guillotine cutters. --> bad.
a cigar aficionado, john has strong opinions on when to use single-guillotine cigar cutters rather than double-guillotine cutters. --> good. notice that we can simply omit the "being" here.

you don't want to omit "being" here, because it's not expressing identity: in the context of (e), it's a necessary verbal. (nice litmus test: try omitting it and see whether the sentence is still viable, perhaps with minor modifications. here, it isn't.)
so, to sum up:
if "being" expresses IDENTITY or CHARACTERISTICS, then kill it.
otherwise, evaluate it on the same merits as you would any other verb.

我是认为这道题里的being+v-ed, 是作为复杂动名词
是为了把一个动作变成句子的主语。
把being去掉，
这个句子就是：
Heavily committed to a course of action, especially one that has workedwell in the past, is likely to make an executive miss signs of incipienttrouble or misinterpret them when they do appear
简化：
committed to xx,..., is likely to do....
这个句子的结构是残的。。。

in the past 不是明显的过去式的标志吗，为什么在这里可以用现在完成时？
