In the following sentence, a part of the sentence is underlined. Below are given alternatives to the underlined part, which may improve the sentence. Choose the correct alternative. In case no improvement is needed, choose the option ‘No improvement’. No expense was to been spared in the process of making her into the next worthy heir apparent to the throne. Correct Answer Was to be

The sentence uses the form was to been, which is incorrect and needs improvement.

The sentence uses to-infinitive, i.e, whenever to comes before a verb, the verb must always be in its simple present tense form. 

So, here, the correct infinitive would be- was to be.

None of the other alternatives can make the sentence meaningful.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 2.
