In the given sentence, identify the segment which contains the grammatical error.
Despite warnings the driver continued to speed and have been caught by the traffic police.

Correct option is B

Option (b) contains an error.
The correct form should be "and was caught" instead of "have been caught." The subject "the driver" is singular and the sentence is in past tense. Therefore, the past simple tense "was caught" is the correct form.
Grammatical rule used: The past simple tense is used to describe an action completed in the past. Auxiliary verb "was" + past participle "caught" fits for a singular subject in passive voice.
Example: She was praised by the teacher for her good work.
Information Booster: "Have been" is used with plural subjects or with first/second person in present perfect passive constructions, not suitable here.
