Correct Answer: No correction required


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

The use of the past continuous tense "were attempting" is appropriate in this context, as it describes an ongoing action in the past. The sentence implies that, at a certain point in the past, the person received information about someone trying to contact him.

Therefore, in the given sentence, there is no correction required.
