Present partciple in relative clause.
Hello everyone~
I am an English learner and a job seeker from Korea.
Are you in peace in your country?
Here, in Korea, It's been on over 32 celcius degree for consecutive days.
I pray all of you would be fine~
some minute ago, I 've got this question from TOEIC test.
<TOEIC: a large number of korean companies need a certificate about it.
>
<question>
The employees being sought would be of the highest excellence professionally.
I know it's abbreviated clause in the question like this:
The employees (which is )sought would be of the ~~~ or The employees (which is ) being sought~~
I presume both are right ,but not sure of difference between them.
to be concrete, I want to know why didn't omit the 'being' present particple.
to stress that the situation is ongoing?
thanks~

(which are ) plural You seem to realize that the omission of the "being" is optional. The choice is a matter of style. I personally find that it reads smoother with the "being," if for no other reason than that "employees sought" is difficult to pronounce.

Thank you for your advice and greeting me.
did '32' mean 32 degrees Faherenheit in your lingo?
it's the freezing point in Faherenheit.
because of you, I've just got new information that Washington and NY use Farenheit temperature convention.
Best wishes~

You're information is absolutely correct. We use it throughout the continental US, and I expect in Alaska and Hawaii as well, although I'm not sure. They may fall under the influence of Canada.
