Explanation:

The word "was" is used incorrectly in this sentence. "Was" is used in first-person perspective, when the narrator is describing things from their perspective, using words like "I" and "me."

For example, "I was eating food in the park." This sentence makes sense. Now, let's use "was" in third person-perspective. "I were eating food in the park." Now, this does't make sense. "Was" belongs in first person, while "were" belongs in third person(and also second person).

However, this sentence is not in first-person perspective. This sentence is third-person perspective. The narrator is not a character in the story, but they are describing things as they happen in the story, using words like "they" or "them."

Even if the sentence does not have "they" or "them" in the sentence, it can still be in third-person. There are 3 types of point of views: first person, second person, and third person. First person uses "I," second person uses "you," and third person uses "they."

This narrator of the sentence is definitely not addressing themselves for first person or addressing you, the reader, for second person. The narrator is saying things as they happen while not being a part of the story, so it is third person.

So, we can conclude that the sentence is in third-person perspective, meaning the word "was" does not belong because "was" belongs in first-person perspective. We replace "was" with "were," which works for second and third person.
