Hello everyone
I need help to solve a multiple choice question

"We are by nature prone ----- shy or outgoing, and we seem----- some certain pschological disorders"

A) to have been / to have been had
B) being / having
C) to being / to bee having
D) having been / having had
E) to be / to have

The answer key of the test says the answer is B
I think E may be the correct one because we can use infinitives after "prone" and "seem"

If you think the answer is B why not E ?

Thank you very much for your concern

E is the answer for me. There must be a mistake in the answer sheet.
Careful with your spelling of "psychological".

This is not the first time this month that the "correct answer" turned out to be dead wrong. I am glad that some students, at least, are able to question these "correct answers" and get a second opinion from native speakers. But I wonder how many other errors go undetected because they are in the official answer key, so they are accepted as correct by the teachers.
