Correct Answer: was posting yesterday


Solution : The error lies in the third option .

The usage of posting is incorrect in the sentence.

Posted is the correct past participle form to convey the action of sending or mailing a letter in this context, as the sentence is talking about a past event.

Therefore, the correct sentence is: "The letter was posted yesterday by my brother".
