Correct Answer: planned by the club
Solution : The correct answer is the second option.
The original sentence has a redundant or unnecessary use of the verb was. When constructing a sentence, it is generally more concise and grammatically correct to avoid unnecessary repetition of verbs.
In this case, the phrase planned by the club already conveys the intended meaning that it was already planned, and adding was before it creates redundancy.
Therefore, the correct sentence should be "The Karaoke programme planned by the club was a grand success."
