There ____ nowhere to hide,the theif was caught by the students.

问题描述:

There ____ nowhere to hide,the theif was caught by the students.
being ,说是根据逗号来判断出前面这句是状语
我觉得填 is 也可以啊,可以构成一个完整的句子,
There is nowhere to hide,the theif was caught by the students.不行么,
就像because……再加逗号后再加其他句子的形式,中间不也用了逗号

There being...是对的,此处是独立主格结构.因为如果用There is...时,则应该在the theif 前加上so.因为两个句子之间必须有连词才行,而There being...是分词形式,可以作状语,后后面的句子the theif...之间不需要连词连起来.
