Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. someone has been picked my pocket.

  • The past simple and past continuous tenses are often used together to show that a past simple action happened during a past continuous action. 
  • Example: While I was studying, I suddenly felt sleepy.
  • We need to replace "has been picked" with "picked" to make the statement grammatically correct.
  • Correct Sentence:- I think someone picked my pocket while I was travelling in the metro.
