Identify the segment in the sentence which contains a grammatical error.
The two buses moving side by side gave the illusion of been stationary.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 4 i.e. of been stationary.
- The correct form is "being" because it is the present participle used to indicate the state of appearing stationary. "Been" is the past participle and is incorrect in this context.
- The phrase "gave the illusion of being stationary" correctly describes the ongoing appearance of the buses seeming not to move.
