Question : Improve the underlined part of the sentence. Choose 'No improvement' as an answer if the sentence is grammatically correct.
Raccoons have being more active at night.
Option 1: are more
Option 2: are few
Option 3: No improvement
Option 4: are much
Correct Answer: are more
Solution : The first option is correct.
The original sentence contains a grammatical error in the use of the verb form. The phrase have being is incorrect. Being is the present participle form of the verb be , but it is not used with have in this context.
In the corrected version, one should use the verb form "are" that aligns with the plural noun i.e., racoons. This correction is necessary to convey the information in the simple present tense as it talks about the general attribute of racoons.
Therefore, the corrected sentence would be, "Raccoons are more active at night".
