Explanation:

- The sentence is in the present tense, focusing on the idea that when we focus on the advantages of victory, we tend to overlook the evils of war.

- Option 1: "becoming" - This present participle suggests an ongoing process but doesn't quite fit the structure as intended.

- Option 2: "become" - This option accurately fits the present simple tense, indicating a general truth or habitual action. This makes it the most appropriate choice in this context.

- Option 3: "had become" - This past perfect tense implies a past action completed before another past action, which doesn't align with the sentence's present context.

- Option 4: "have been becoming" - This present perfect continuous tense suggests an action that started in the past and continues, which is unnecessarily complex for this sentence.
