Option 1 : A

The error lies in part A of the sentence. Thus, option 1 is correct.

In the given sentence, the subject is ‘men’, which is plural in nature and the verb is ‘was’, which is singular. By rule, a singular subject always takes a singular verb while a plural subject takes a plural verb.

For example: The women are preparing the breakfast. Therefore, ‘was’ here is the point of error and will be replaced by its plural form, ‘were’.

Correct sentence: 

The wounded men were being helped by some boys.
