Answer 1

The correct answer is 'been successful'.

Key Points

The primary issue in the sentence is the incorrect form of the verb "be" used after "have always".
The correct form should be "been" to match the perfect tense structure.
Additionally, "successful" is the correct adjective to describe the subject's achievements in examinations.
Therefore, the correct phrase is "been successful".

Therefore, the correct answer is Option 3.

Correct Sentence: "I have always been successful in all my examinations."

Additional Information

A: "being success" – This option is incorrect because "being" does not fit with the present perfect tense "have always".
B: "been success" – This option is incorrect because "success" is a noun and we need an adjective "successful" to describe the subject's state.
D: "No improvement" – This option is incorrect because the original sentence contains a grammatical error.
