Solución propuesta:

respuesta: show

(A) Antecedente de "it" nada claro. Al emplear voz pasiva resulta wordy
(B) Cambia el sentido de la frase original (el sujeto pasa a ser "an executive"). Modificador mal situado (when they do appear)
(C) Antecedente de "it" nada claro
(D) Ausencia de paralelismo entre "miss" y "misinterpreting"
(E) Frase gramaticalmente correcta y con significado claro

La respuesta correcta es (E)

Nota: Uno de los pocos ejemplos en que "being" es correcto en el GMAT. Básicamente puede ser correcto en dos casos:

1-Being + Something + verb. E.g: Being sick is awful
2-Something + is + Being. E.g: The car is being washed
