English Grammar – Spot the error (identify the erroneous segment or choose ‘‘No error’’). Sentence: Being a very fast worker, he is always liking by all his colleagues and superiors too.

Introduction / Context:
This sentence tests verb form choice in passive constructions. The intended meaning is “he is always liked,” not “liking,” which would express an ongoing action by the subject.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Participial opener: “Being a very fast worker,” which is fine.
• Main clause needs a passive form indicating others’ approval of him.

Concept / Approach:
Passive voice uses the past participle after “be”: “is liked.” The present participle “liking” represents an active, progressive act by the subject, which is illogical here (he does not “like” himself in that sense).

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:
Rephrase with a relative clause: “who is always liked by …” confirms that the passive is required.

Why Other Options Are (mostly) Fine:

• “Being a very fast worker,” – acceptable non-finite opener.
• “by all his colleagues … and superiors too.” – prepositional phrase listing approvers; punctuation is stylistic, not grammatical.
• “No error.” – invalid because B contains a verb-form error.

Common Pitfalls:
Using “-ing” forms where passive meaning is needed; forgetting that “like” in passive is “liked.”

Final Answer:
he is always liking
