SAT语法题The Roman poet Virgil is highly esteened today for his
on the grounds of its not being/not having been (formal)
on the grounds of it not being/not having been (less formal,NB:not informal,meaning not as formal as the above one)
You must assign a logical subject to "not being sufficiently polished"
Actually,I would say "on the grounds that it had not been/was not sufficiently polished"
palmaking说:"把not being换成not having been就行了"
-------------No,this wouldn't help.The gerundial phrase ("not being sufficiently polished") needs a logical subject.Ask yourself "What is not sufficiently polished",and you will know.
⑨beamcrystalL说:"prevent x from"
------------"prevent its publication" 不就是 "prevent sth"吗?
