The words … divided between the end of one line.

Analyze the question: The sentence is "The words _ divided between the end of one line..." We need the correct verb phrase to fill the gap. This tests subject-verb agreement and the correct use of the present perfect passive.

Explain the concept:

1. Subject-verb agreement: "words" is plural, so it takes have, not has.
2. Passive voice (present perfect): The structure is have/has + been + past participle. Here "divided" is the past participle, so we need been, not "being". • "Being" is the present participle and doesn't fit after "have".

Step-by-step solution:

• Subject: "The words" → plural → have (eliminates A and D, which use "has")
• Passive form: have + been + divided → "have been divided" (eliminates C, "have being")

Check: "The words have been divided between the end of one line and the beginning of the next." This is grammatically correct.

Correct answer: B. Have been.

Exam tip: Whenever you see a choice between "been" and "being" before a past participle, ask yourself whether it follows have/has/had. If so, use been. Also, always find the subject first and check whether it is singular or plural before choosing "has" or "have".
