Model Answer
The passenger who was sitting in the auto was injured.
Explanation
The sentence describes a continuous/ongoing action happening at a specific past time (when the accident occurred), so the past continuous form "sitting" is required. The structure "was + V-ing" (past continuous) is used here to show the passenger was in the middle of the action of sitting when the event took place.
