Correct Answer: He was always been a grumpy man, so I never liked him and avoided his company


Solution : The option that contains a grammatical error is the second option .

Explanation: The error in this sentence is the use of was always been in the past tense which should be replaced with has always been. This is the present perfect tense, which is used to describe an action or situation that started in the past and continues into the present.

So, the correct sentence should be: " He has always been a grumpy man so I never liked him and avoided his company."
