"Has genetic science gone too far?"
Genetic science in the science which moving forward in different ways using range of various experements. In my opinion, genetic science should move slowly in order to verify the influence of its experiments on human life.
On the one hand, there are many good medical reasons for experementing with genetic engineering. It can help to trace diseases in order save the lives of millions people.
In addition to that, it can help in solving famine problems in the world. Once scientists succeeded in clonning animals for food, there will be plenty of food for everyone.
On the other hand, changing the way thing happen naturally can poses many risks. Working against natural order of things can cause negative effect on environment.
All things considered, the genetic science needs to be more controlled in order to explore both positive and negative influence on mankind and environment, before it is too late.

was or have been
I have a task: Complete the second sentence so that it has a similar meaning to the first sentence, using the word given. Do not change the word given. You must use between two and five words, including the word given.
The given word: SAID
The first sentence: They say the fashion model was discovered by her agent while working at a restaurant.
The second: The fashion model is __________SAID WAS____________ discovered by her agent while working at a restaurant.
I filled gap with: SAID WAS. But it isn't correct! :(
The correct answer is: SAID TO HAVE BEEN.
Why?? In the firs sentense I have "was" why in the second I can't use it as in first?

Please, help me with modal verbs :)
I had to rephrase these sentences using modals, but my answers weren't correct:
1) I'm sure he didn't send you this letter.
My answer is: He COULDN'T send you this letter.
But the correct answer is: He CAN'T HAVE SENT send you this letter.
Why can't I use "COULDN'T" or "COULDN'T HAVE SENT" here?
2) I'm sure she wasn't lying to you.
My answer is: She COULDN"T HAVE BEEN lying to you.
But the correct answer is: She CAN'T HAVE BEEN lying to you.
Why can't I use "COULDN'T HAVE BEEN" here?
3) Alan CAN'T HAVE FORGOTTEN that it was my birthday yesterday because it's the same as his
Why "COULDN'T HAVE FORGOTTEN" is a mistake here?
Thank you!
