A、being
B、be
C、was
D、were
【正确答案】：A
【题目解析】：第26题考查的是非谓语动词的正确使用。句子中出现了“discovery ____ 99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration”的结构，这里的“discovery”是主语，“99 percent perspiration and 1 percent inspiration”是discovery的补足语，表示发现的过程。在这个结构中，需要用非谓语动词来连接主语和补足语。 选项A “being” 是非谓语动词中的现在分词形式，通常用于表示正在进行的动作或主动的动作。在这个句子中，用“being”作为“discovery”的补足语，表示“发现是一个99%的努力和1%的灵感的过程”，语法和逻辑都是正确的。 选项B “be” 是动词原形，不能直接用在这里作为非谓语动词。 选项C “was” 和选项D “were” 是动词的过去式形式，也不能直接作为非谓语动词使用。 因此，根据句子结构和语法规则，正确答案是A “being”。
