Model Answer

| Error | Correction |
|-------|------------|
| Being checked | Having checked |

Explanation

"Being checked" is incorrect because it implies a passive or ongoing action. The sentence requires a perfect participle ("Having checked") to show a completed action before the main clause. Examiners look for this specific participial phrase correction.
