Could you tell me which one is right between the following (A) and (B)?
Thank you.

The process (A) described / (B) was described as being brick by brick, shingle by shingle, prayer by prayer.

The process was described as being brick by brick, shingle by shingle, prayer by prayer. Without was , it’s just a noun phrase.

If it is to be a complete sentence, it must be (B).

With (A), the whole thing is one noun phrase.
