Question : The following sentence has been split into four segments. Identify the segment that contains a grammatical error.
A book market / was been operated by some readers / in the street when / they reached there.
Option 1: they reached there.
Option 2: A book market
Option 3: was been operated by some readers
Option 4: in the street when
Correct Answer: was been operated by some readers
Solution : The correct choice is the third option .
The use of "was been" is incorrect, as only "was" should be used because the sentence is in the simple past tense. "Was operated" is the correct usage to convey that the book market was operated by some readers.
So, the correct sentence would be: A book market was operated by some readers in the street when they reached there.
