"As he…" seems awkward.
5 is better than 4.
1. As he didn't know what to say, he remained silent.
2. Not knowing what to say, he remained silent.
(Are both the same?)
3. As he was not happy, he kept quiet.
4. Being not happy, he kept quiet.
5. Not being happy, he kept quiet.
(What about these sentences? Do we have to use #4 or #5?)
