问题补充：

in 1724, this business company is the oldest in my hometown.

A. Founded

B. Being founded

C. To found

D. Founding

答案：

(答案→)A. Founded

B. Being founded

C. To found

D. Founding

解析：考查非谓语动词作状语。现在分词表主动，进行。过去分词表被动，完成。 company与 found之间的关系为被动关系，故排除C,D。且不定式位于句首时只能做目的状语，此处为时间状语，时间状语 in 1724说明表完成，故选A。
