<p>The Mount Isa mine complex is one of the most highly merchanized in the world, plus being the largest single industrial enterprise in Queensland. </p>
<p>The error is “plus being”… I couldn’t get it… please explain me…</p>
<p>thanks in advance!</p>
<p>“plus being” sounds really awkward when you read it outloud even out of context. There should be a conjunction there. It should be corrected to something like this:</p>
<p>1) The Mount Isa mine complex is one of the most highly merchandized in the world in addition to being the largest single industrial enterprise in Queensland.</p>
<p>2) The Mount Isa mine complex is one of the most highly merchandized in the world and is the largest single industrial enterprise in Queensland.</p>
<p>You don’t usually use “plus” in the middle of a sentence. It usually starts off a sentence like:</p>
<p>“I can’t go to the baseball game today because I have a lot of homework. Plus, I don’t have a ride.”</p>
<p>“Plus” can’t mean “and” on the SAT-1, and “being” is wrong 90% of the time.</p>
