He was always been a grumpy man so I never liked him and avoided his company.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is option 2 i.e. He was always been a grumpy man, so I never liked him and avoided his company.

  • Option 2 has the grammatically incorrect part.
  • The second action happened in the past and the first action started even before that and continued till date.
  • So, it should be written in the present perfect tense.
  • The correct sentence will be: He has always been a grumpy man so I never liked him and avoided his company.
