Correct Answer: he had been failed
Solution : The error lies in the third option.
The error is in the phrase he had been failed. The verb failed in this context should be used in its active form, not in the passive form with been. The correct form should be he had failed, which means he did not succeed in arranging the money.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: "He was unable to help me because he had failed to arrange the money."
