<p>The question says: On October 13, 1955, at the Six Gallery in San Francisco, Allen Ginsberg read his poem Howl, being the inauguration of both a new style in poetry and the Beat movement.</p>

<p>I chose choice A (no error), but the correct choice was "Howl, thus inaugurating both"</p>

<p>I understand that it doesn't make sense to say Allen was being the inauguration, but how do you know that the verb "being" applies to Allen and not his poem Howl?</p>

<p>Just a tip: Being is 98% of the times wrong.</p>

<p>Being is rarely ever correct, if you need to guess, pick one without it.</p>
