Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is 'Option 2'
Key Points
- The phrase containing a grammatical error in the given sentence is "I was be groomed".
- The sentence "I was being groomed for success in the world" is in the passive voice. This is because the subject of the sentence ("I") is receiving the action (being groomed) rather than performing the action.
- The correct usage should be "I was being groomed".
- In English, when we talk about an action that was ongoing in the past (a past continuous action), we use "was/were" + present participle (-ing form of the verb).
- So, "was be groomed" should be "was being groomed" to correctly indicate the ongoing action in the past.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "I felt that I was being groomed for success in the world."
