Correct Answer: I was be groomed
Solution : The correct choice is the second option .
Explanation:
The error lies in the use of the verb be after was . The correct construction should be I was being groomed . The verb being is the gerund form of the verb be and is used after was to indicate an ongoing action in the past. Using be directly after was is redundant and grammatically incorrect.
So, the correct sentence is: I felt that I was being groomed for success in the world.
