Correct Answer: was following by
Solution : The error lies in the fourth option.
The error is in the phrase "was following by". The correct construction should be "was being followed by". The passive form "was being followed by" is appropriate when expressing that someone is being pursued or followed by others.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be: When I realised I was being followed by some street boys, I decided to change my route.
