Correct Answer: (1)
Solution : The correct choice is the first option.
"Was being" should be replaced with "was" to convey the intended meaning that it was difficult for the speaker to believe that his brother could be involved in something heinous. "Being" is omitted from the sentence since being is used to refer to actions in the continuous tense, which is out of context here.
Therefore, the correct sentence is: " It was hard to believe that my brother could be involved with anything so sinister."
